#5 Antique Brass Metallic Nylon Coil Zippers by The Yard Bulk Coil Zipper Roll 10 Yards with 25pcs Pulls for DIY Sewing Craft Bags (Black)

My order arrived in two pieces. Two uneven pieces. They added together made up 10 yards. BUT this is sold as one whole uncut piece. And though many times one may be fine with that if they are making small projects like bags and purses and pillows. THIS is THE TIME it is NOT all right. I'm upholstering an RV that includes 7 cushions. And the largest or 4 need 4 super long pieces to work with what is called a floating side. This technique allows you to insert stiff and large pieces of stuffing like foam cores and wrapped with poly or extra 1" thick softer foam to make seats comfortable for sitting but stiff for support without disturbing any of the materials being inserted and not having to resort to vacuum shrinking which can result in disturbing the wrap materials. Anyway this is double the misery because this was an emergency order to replace a BAD order from a year back. This is a very close match but more than half that yardage was bad. It had skipped stitching or missing stitching on one side of the back side of the coil which is how the coils are attached to the tape in manufacturing. This resulted in every few inches to a foot sometimes of intermittent coil on one side only not attached to the tape so it would gap if you had used it. I had just cut three pieces off the roll and was attempting my third zipper pull when I discovered this problem and just how bad it was. In an emergency I ran to Amazon to find very similar color and style of zipper by the yard. This is Perfect. BUT NOT in short pieces cut so no way I tried to figure out how I could make it work for the 4 major cushions plus to arm bolsters not to mention the remaining 3 cushions. The remaining ones have hidden zippers that will be out of sight so I could manage with something else but those are already finished. I am down to the bolsters that are small pieces and the smaller of the piece would work out for those. What does not work out is cutting the larger piece into four for the major cushions where one side will be exposed to the outside and a whimsical embellishment on the zipper pulls will show. These also will have double pulls like luggage style. There's a reason for that too. Meantime This fails and I don't have time to return and try again. I can make the bolsters and three cushions and now forced to order 10 more yards of this to finish the project and that means I'll have a lot of left over zipper. Eventually it'll get used up but that's like maybe not in my life time even. So shame on those to blame for not providing the product as described and presented in the description. Not acceptable therefore 1 star negative. If you order and require a long run of zipper don't trust you will get it. The zipper itself is made fine. It does not have ends that help you start a pull but most of these cheaper by the yard zippers or middle of the row quality usually does not. Sallie Tomato and name brands often do have the helper cord ends to get a pull started. I've got over 45 years of using zipper by the yard in various sizes and coil and tooth alike so this is not a problem for me. Others it might be. With practice you develop the knack of getting on the pulls successfully without gaps and even luggage style double pulls one of my favorite zipper usage. Anyway I now recommend checking the back side of the zipper by the yard to make sure it has two double rows of stitches running along the middle one set on each side of the middle that connects the coil to the tape. However that problem only happened once but it identical zipper as this in the grey silver coil. I now on will always inspect my zippers when they first arrive to make sure this never happens again. However my complaint with this zipper is it was cut into two pieces not one long 10 yard length leaving me too short on one of my 4 cushions which are large cushions I admit they span two dinette benches but no matter what I was making I needed the full length. Most probably do get full lengths and it's on occasion the maker decides to pair two shorts together to make the whole. But then they should not sell it as 10 yards as one piece either.

First zipper I have installed into a tote bag. Second tote bag I have sewn. I like the pulls on this zipper as they can be used for installing in a classical or whimsical bag. The zipper in very versatile.The purchase was mailed quickly and packaged well☺️!

I had never thought about buying zipper by the yard before and after buying a couple different version of this one I realized they make color ones too... 😆 I love the concept and they were great. It was easy to cut to size and put zipper on which I didn't trust myself much with it but it was definetely idiot-proof.

Great zipper. You can cut the exact size you need. Love the concept!
