For example, in order to open a wholesale account, you must have a tax ID and in some cases, references in the industry (previous wholesale sewing purchases, etc.). For Michael Miller, there is a 6 or 8 bolt minimum (15 yards per bolt). However, you can order sample yardage (up to 10 yards per fabric), but you pay an extra cutting cost of $2.65 or $2.75 per cut. I've also gotten lots of my denims in the NYC fabric district. I have two stores that are able to reorder denims when needed. However, whenever they tell me a particular denim is not reorderable, I take whatever they have (usually no more than 60 yards) and do limited edition stuff. With friendship, Lisa I order from Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman and Alexander Henry.
