like totally eh? I was thinking more on the lines of duty, customs etc. Plus the mandatory beaver tail makes garments a bit heavy  but wazoodle does ship internationally so I bet they are used to it, just bought the flannel from wazoodle for all the kiddies xmas pj's last night, we have car fabric, the incredibles, girly hearts and for the hockey player... go habs go!!

OMGosh you guys are too funny. I grew up on the canandian border now I live on the Mexico border. Talk about an accent. I really sound funny. I picked up the broken english from the mexico side and I throw in the aye just cause of habit...lol Its to funny to hear other people use "aye" again..lol Does wazoodle (did I spell that right??) ship pretty fast. I ordered from handcocks and I was shocked at how long it took for delivery. Im pretty sure my "my little pony" fabric walked here from Utah. Spring |

Try a tailoring or alteration supply cataolog. Banasch's, Atlanta Thread, and Solo all have websites, all supply to the public retail, and all have a large selection of zippers. If you need a really "special" one, Zippersource will custom manufacture one for you. VenusElaine "Always put as much effort into your marriage as you do into your wedding."

Hi. try this one http://www.sewtrue.com/ Karen V I am so lucky because there is a place near where I live that has tons of them in lots of colors. For anyone in my area (Baltimore, MD) who doesn't already know, it's PA fabrics on route 40--a few blocks W of Rolling Road. all art is lies that help us see the truth
