There is no need to worry about breaking a needle when you're using these zippers!

Zippers by the Yard will help you save money and time! Cut the length of zipper you need, when you need it, for minimal waste. Also, use Zippers by the Yard to create single or double slide zippers of any length. Double slide zippers open from the middle out, which is ideal for luggage style bags, bowler bags, handbags, backpacks and more.
Coordinate the zipper tape color with your fabric and match the nylon coil color with your bag hardware! Not only are zippers functional, but they can also be used for decorative accents. Use them for closures, pockets, expandable areas, and more.
