I must be having a bad day. First I needed to know where to buy the zippers. (I got that information from Linda) Now I need to know what size zippers that everyone is using for the purses. Help please. Hugs, Mary

If you position and stitch the zip from the closed end, (It's normal to stitch a zip from the open end first) you can get away with a shorter zip as you can stop stitching when the foot reaches the zip pull- further along than when trying to avoid the zip pull at the start. Jan

I think it depends on what the size of the purse is. Which one did you have in mind?

www.wawak.com for zippers. The buy2,get 1 free offer is over but the prices are still the best. I got 9 inch ones that came to 37 Cents each including postage.

I would go 2 inches over the size of the purse (the direction the zipper going). So if the purse is 7" wide use a 9" zipper. I have been buying my zippers in bulk at 14" so I have it available fro anything up to my 12" hoop.

Thanks for the info.

In several ITH projects that I have done I used 7". Thats what I purchased in almost every color that they had. Hugs & Stitches, Liz
