where can I buy a zipper that will ship fast?
 

Hello.... my LQS has classes to make duffle bags and I am excited to make a couple. The pattern calls out a #3 plastic zipper - but the shop doesn't have them :(

I looked on Amazon and I can't find any. Do you guys have a suggestion on where I can get this that will ship fast? My class is Wednesday

Wawak has good prices, fast shipping. I have been very happy with them for zippers and thread.

Zipperstop has rush shipping options. https://www.zipperstop.com/?gclid=CL...FQMcaQod-_oJbg

No suggestions, other than the obvious .... google around LQS', Amazon, eBay, etc.
I know there is one company that makes a lot of bag patterns and also sells all the required hardware. But sorry, I have no clue what the name of it is.

More so, I feel for you and am just shaking my head at your LQS and others that offer a class,
but then do not have the supplies required.

Totally inept and irresponsible .... yes, JIMHO.
Just seems so wrong.

To be quite frank, no matter how much I wanted to make the bag (or a different class project),
I think I would boycott their class, when they did not sell the required parts or that it was not locally available. Again ... JIMHO!

Mine too. Why have the class if the supplies aren't available.

I have to agree. Bad planning on their part. Stupid business plan, too.

What pattern are you using for the duffle bag?

Pardon my ignorance, but I do not know what #3 refers to. When I googled for it, a #3 came in different lengths. Having shopped in thrift stores that took in a lot from cottage industries in the area, I have zippers in all lengths and types, but have never seen one designated by a number for anything but length.

I believe it has to do with the tooth size of the zipper

I love Zipperstop and they are always fast. They are an old family business in NYC.
