I received the newest Connecting Threads catalog and they have some great prices in there this time. www.connectingthreads.com.

I seem to remember discussions about the Fons and Porter Design Wall. Since it's on sale in this catalog, I was thinking of ordering it. Is it worth ordering and did anyone find it useful?

The other day there was a post about a gadget called the Satinedge Presser Foot. Someone asked if anyone had used it. I did put in an order after viewing it online and really was amazed that it does work and I'm the biggest klutz in the world.

I got one yesterday too and I've never ordered form them. Will have another look as I'm looking for some thing for a design wall also. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

I use two flannel-backed plastic table cloths. They are pinned to the wall with the flannel side out. Works great and it was very inexpensive.

I got mine in the mail yesterday, couldnt believe the prices! What awesome deals! I had to share the news with my sis, QweenBee. She called my this morning, was excited about the free shipping for orders over $50, and we decided to go in together on an order.
For my $25, I got 11 charm packs & a spool of thread! WOW! Where else can you get deals like that! I cant wait till it comes in!

I got mine yesterday too! I want to buy it all..... they have some great deals in there. Love to just sit and drool looking at all the ideas.

You beat me to starting a thread on this!

I'm dying trying to figure out how to get all the charm packs I want out of here, since they are the cheapest and get a piece of each design.

The cover went far beyond just catching my eye. It's sitting right here by me. Gorgeous, gorgeous fabric selections and colors.

Anyone ordering from here?

I love Connecting Threads- have been happy with orders and once when I had a problem they fixed it quickly! Nice to do business with.

Yes, I got the catalog yesterday and I'm making a mental list of what I need to order for myself...and some good gifts for my MIL, who also quilts.

My favorites are the Christmas prints with the knit designs. Since I love to knit, it's like combining two of my addictions. I may get one of the table topper kits.

Norene B 10-06-2010 04:32 PM

Hmmmm, I got two. Maybe they think I need two order blanks. lol

Did you see the beautiful cabinets from Koala? I sure would love to get the one for $1199. Just beautiful and so much space for cutting sewing and quilting!

I was going to post....nice stuff

CarrieAnne 10-06-2010 06:02 PM

I got one too! Such awesome prices!

Roberta 10-07-2010 05:20 AM

One thing I'm not sure about, how many strips are in a roll on the Connecting Threads site? I've read the ad's several times and see the width of the strips but now how many are in a roll. Please PM me if you have knowledge of this. A really great sale there for sure.

I ordered the design wall and the Fons & Porter binding tool. Love both of them. I thought about using a flannel backed tablecloth for a design wall, but the price was so good that I decided to order it. It has grommits on the top so I used those adhesive hooks to hang it. It also has a grid on it so you can line up your blocks. It works great. I'm very happy with my purchases.

Roberta 10-07-2010 09:13 AM

Oh sounds really good. I'm going to put in an order. I like the idea of the grid lines. Thanks for PM-ing me.
