First orders are payable by either credit card or COD. Once credit is established, terms of 30 or 60 days are extended. Invoices are paid direct to Island Batik which they prefer over complicating matters with a Factor. Orders may be placed at one of the trade shows, via the website at www.Islandbatik.com, or a sales rep will call to set up an appointment. Minimum order is 3 bolts of fabric or $150.00. 

Close out and discontinued cotton promotions can be viewed on line. Buyers need to call for the current reduced price quotes.  Usually it is about $3.85 per yard with a minimum order of three bolts. There is a rayon promotion each spring in which all rayon sells at $4.60 a yard instead of $5.75 with a minimum order of 10 bolts.

During the last five years many new quilt shops have opened and more fabric vendors are exhibiting at the trade shows.  Each of these is searching for their market niche.  For Island Batik this translates into an endless renewal of designs and quick response to customer requests.  Looking ahead, Adam sees the Batik fabric industry unifying to meet the customers’ demand for high quality Batik on a good base cloth. The versatility in color and depth that batik offers will always make it an indispensable item in the quilter’s palette. Indonesia produces exceptionally high quality batik and this is the standard that quilters will look for.
