Hello-another good company to deal with is Fabric.com.....they are quick, their fabric is top-notch, and they always give you an extra inch or so, PLUS free shipping on orders over $35, which isn't hard to rack up. I've dealt with Connecting Threads as well, and also had good luck with the fabric....I haven't bought thread yet, the key word being 'yet'....I was really tempted last week with their thread sale....maybe when it comes 'round again, I'll try it.....thanks for listening! I don't often post, but am always reading....you people are all terrific!
