I have found Connecting Threads fabrics will fray before you even wash them so have discontinued ordering from then for that reason and I used to love their fabrics especially their blender and batiks as the prices were right up my alley. As someone has mentioned, check your 1/4" seam and your stitch length, tighten it and that might help you. You'll find some of JoAnne's fabrics had the same problem years ago and so I quit buying from them too. I don't have a JoAnne's neare me anymore so that's helped me.
