I am sorry but my connecting threads catalog it says that their batiks are hand dyed on USA cotton by artists in java, Indonesia. So not all of their products are made in America.

The fabric is made in the USA. It is dyed in Indonesia.

In my opinion if the whole process isn't done in the USA then you can't say it is made in the USA. Sorry but that is just my opinion. Hope I didn't insult anybody.

Connecting threads is not made in the USA.
The only thing they say is made in the US is the cotton is from the US. Most of the cotton produced in the world is from the US I believe.

On their web site they use to say that it was made (manufactured) in North America. That could be the US, Canada or Mexico. Most likely Mexico.
Since it no longer says that I think they have moved manufacturing to other places


Since Spring (at least when I noticed) they no longer state that their fabric is made in North America.

The only thing coming form the US is the cotton.

In my opinion that should not diminish them as a fabric supplier so long as they do not support 3 world conditions at their factories


this is from their web site

Connecting Threads has very high standards for the International manufacturers we choose to work with. Executives from Connecting Threads have visited each of our manufacturers' factories personally to ensure that their facilities and labor practices are in line with both Connecting Threads' and our customers' expectations. Specifically, Connecting Threads works only with manufacturers who:

Oppose the use of child labor
Have an active role in the positive development of their local community
We are so confident of these excellent conditions that we welcome any of our customers to visit these sites personally if ever in the area. Please contact Customer Service to get more information.

Its still great fabric

No problem with their fabric, it is great fabric. I knew it wasn't made in the USA. Thank you.

Lots of threads on this lately. Fabric is nice, not the best IMHO, but I will still buy and order it if I like it. But NOT fully made in the USA.
