But I've never heard of 20 yard bolts, except for some battings, like Insulbrite..
About 10 years ago fabric did come as 20 yard bolts ( I used to buy plenty). But they downsized just like everything is (look a cereal and ice cream!) and now it's either 12 or 15 yards (mostly the former).
OK, we've only been in the business about 4 years, so that explains my confusion with the 20 yard bolts.
Almost all our suppliers put up bolts in 15's now and some in 10's if you buy the entire collection.
I wish more of our stuff would come in 12's, it requires a lot less shelf space for more variety. The only one of our suppliers who does 12's is QT.
OTOH, there are lots of suppliers we don't carry. :mrgreen:
