The fabric has a heftier weight - which puts me in mind of good "goods" from 25 years ago - and is printed in such a way that BOTH sides of the yardage can often be used, one as a solid.
This is not the same stuff as we're usually getting from Moda/Timeless Treasures/Hoffman/RJR/etc., etc., but it's great fabric at wonderful prices!!

Sorry, but if you read their website carefully it states that some of their fabric is printed in Indonesia, which is not America (either North America nor the U.S.). I really don't care where the fabric comes from (I buy a lot of fabric overseas). I made my earlier statement because people make comments that they like Connecting Threads because their fabric is made in the USA or made in America - when it isn't necessarily. The idea is based on Connecting Threads making their made with USA cotton statement, but that has nothing to do with where the fabric is made or printed.
I also suspect they are using the fiber-reactive same dyes and probably the same finishes that are used in other fabrics. Where does it say on their website they do something different?
