Fabric by the Bolt Wholesale Pricing

Fabric by the Bolt Wholesale Pricing
Could anyone give me an idea of how much fabric is by the bolt from Michael Miller, Riley Blake, Robert Kaufman, etc? I need a general idea so I can crunch some numbers for my business. I'm in the process of applying for all my wholesale accounts, but it would be nice to know prices as I'm planning!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Prices vary from company to company and by designer also. Most average about $5.00 - $5.45 now. When I started about 5 years ago, it was $4.00 - $4.50. There are usually about 15 yards on a bolt. Batiks and metallics are higher.

Most quilt-shop quality fabrics now are above $5/yd, many are $6/yd and higher at wholesale.
When you're crunching your numbers, don't forget to figure in inbound shipping costs. Depending on where you get your fabrics from, these can add up to 50 cents a yard or more by the time you get them in your shop. If you're running a home-based business, your shipping costs will be about 20% higher. That's why a lot of shops try to specialize in fabrics that can be sourced nearby, from local distributors rather than getting them from clear across the country.
There are many many cost items that go into a sale that you never think of until you get into the business...
Good luck!

This poster has apparently just joined QB and we are giving away valuable info to someone who is virtually a stranger. 1 post ?? No other info from this poster??? Just sayin.
Wholesale fabric prices are a wide range depending on vendor, type of fabric, etc.
Btw, each Vendor will likely have minimum purchase requirements too. Either per order or annually.

bolts hold between 15 & 25 yards of fabric....some only 10....some 50....each is individual- different suppliers offer different amounts- instead of asking us, you need to ask your supplier-only they can answer this question for you

Just a note - I inquired about purchasing Moda wholesale and they have a $700 minimum. I am set up as a business but I'm just a small time gal and at this time couldn't place that kind of an order.
Generally wholesale is about 40% off retail price, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on where you buy.
Good luck with your venture!
