Clothier says i don't have any, no matter if I assign the pile to the shop or not. Any tips or techniques to go about this?

As garath says, it's probably a matter of dwarves going to collect cloth using the bin, making it not available to tailors/doctors trying to use it. My best workaround would be to forbid bins from your cloth stockpile, which sucks in another way. :/
Also if you're needing it for doctors, not tailors, put a chest or two in the hospital.

maybe one and forbid anything but cloth and thread and hpe for heavens sake it gets full fast or simply DON'T PUT STORAGE IN A HOSPITAL AS THE WIKI AND MANY PLAYERS WILL TELL YOU. If you wonder about the caps, have you any idea how many questions we've had lately about weird hospital storage behavior lately?
this forum might as well remove the search function

Or setup a ring approach around your clothier workshop.
- Put the workshop in the middle of the room.
- Wrap a stockpile around that (14 tiles worth) which uses bins, only takes from links
- Wrap an outer stockpile around that, which uses bins, but takes from everywhere
- Give from the outer to the inner stockpile, give from the inner stockpile to the workshop
Stormfeather:
Yeah, the hospital storage is being icky lately, BUT if the original poster was having trouble getting cloth for bandages due to a bin, putting storage in the hospital could help with it, weirdness or not. Eventually at least some cloth would be snatched from the bin when it's not in transit, and put in the hospital.
But yeah, if you go that route keep in mind that hospital storage (along with bins) has gone haywire, as far as capacity goes.
ElenaRoan:
Just caught some thrips men and women, can I do anything with them other than dump them into magma? And can they fly?
Trif:
They can fly, but you can't tame or butcher them. You could try to breed them, then stuff them in cages and use them as weapons against goblins. It's probably not worth the effort, though.
