When in doubt about yardage on a bolt, go to your local quilt shop and look on the end of the bolt.

Good luck!

I publicly apologize for my questioning the screen name. I hope eveyone forgives me of my indescretion. Mea culpa

SandyGirl,
Well of course you are forgiven for whatever indescretions you think you have committed. I believe you are more scrutinizing regarding fabric business questions because that is your business. After all, you are a fabric sales rep, correct? We all just need to keep in mind that we were all beginners at one time and was new to this board. This board is here to offer help & inspiration to anyone interested in fabric & quilting. I am so glad I came across this board several years ago. I have learned so much because of the generosity of so many. Enjoy this beautiful day. Here in west central Ohio it is a balmy 58 degrees after getting 5 inches of snow earlier this week. Chris |
Thanks, Chris, yes, i am a rep. It is on my profile.
I guess I kind of cringe when wholesale pricing, etc is discussed so publicly. Generalities are one thing.....specifics are best discussed with each vendor one on one. But this is from my persective. I do not discuss wholesale prices unless the account can show business credentials. One cannot even attend quilt Market without providing actual invoices of goods purchased at wholesale. So many variables in pricing, pricing tiers, yardage, quality levels, etc. i dont even discuss this with my personal quilty friends. Sandy |

I DO, indeed, know how many yards of fabric are on the bolts we intend to purchase from Riley Blake; some are 10, and some 15 yds. I'm not sure how you got the idea that I didn't know, but my original question was about pricing (per yard), not pricing for every bolt. Clearly there is no standard for yardage on a bolt, some 8, 10, 15, etc. as some of the other posters have stated. |

ro, I believe that is why the question was asked some people do not know or care. Until now I thought the most fabric that came on a bolt was 8 maybe 10 yards once I was told 15 yards were on a bolt. Now someone posted their maybe even more yardage per bolts. I also do not understand what the big deal that "k8edu" has not posted on this site before and has asked her question, what is the big deal about her question, do you have to have posted on this site a number of times before you can ask a type of question? I DO NOT GET IT!! I love this site and have learned a lot but sometimes peoples reaction are beyond me. Good luck to you and your sisters "k8edu" most of the people on this site are very very helpful and go out of their way to help people. yippie

Sandy The OP was merely seeking cost information from one source, the QB membership. If you didn't wish to volunteer the information requested, no one was forcing you to. You could easily have just kept silent. There was no reason to question her motives, let alone her character. |

I have no idea how much is on a bolt and I am a quilter. I typically buy anything from fat quarters to 5 yards at most so I've had no reason to know this.
