Default Connecting Threads fabric

Just ordered 3 yards of wide backing fabric and it is wonderful. The cobblestone print is so great and a good choice of colors. Fabric is a breeze to sew on and it is well worth the reasonable cost of wide backing.

I was also pleased with the wide backing I purchased from CT, but it did seem to shrink more than their regular cottons, so I always prewash mine.

No problem with the fabric at all. I usually buy the clearance fabric and piece my backings. I like my backing to be completely different from the top.

Haven't tried their backing but I love their fabrics overall. I most of their basic blender collections and keep them in stock here. I have found that some fray more so than others though so I make sure I starch my fabrics before I cut into them.

Can't complain about their prices either.

I like their fabric also and use their thread almost exclusively for sewing, piecing and on the LA.

I frequently order from CT ...always receive great fabric and fast shipping. I have used their poly thread with excellent results.

I, too, have always had a great experience with CT. You can't go wrong with the price of their fabrics and I have always been satisfied with my orders.
