also from ontario canada, i recently received my first order from connecting threads, it seemed somewhat thin and i suspect stiffened with filler. most here have said that they like their fabric, so i will see. i do like hancocks of paduca. my lqs is so costly, 16.98 a yard, rarely has sales, tho very fine fabric, another shop 30k away has good sales twice a year. i miss the 'fabricland' that closed and the vanished fabric from walmart.
