    Good morning all - I am a newbe up here
    I have purchased from Connecting Threads and their fabrics are terrific. The quality is really good cottons. I have been buying from them for several years and am always delight when I get my fabric. I always try to purchase over $50.00 as the shipping is free with $50.00 or more and buy through them on the net there is no taxes on purchases.

    One thing, there is state tax if the company you buy from has a business in your state, or even a warehouse,so check before buying.Connecting Threads is in Ohio,as is Thousands of Bolts.Not a problem, but better to know than to be surprised.

    I live in Florida, but you point on that is good, I forgot about that and the tax if they are in your state. They sure try to get us coming and going with the taxes.

    Sorry, this is a sore point for me. If a person wants to recycle clothing into crafting of any sort, I have no problem with that... IF they are using clothing from their own household. If you can afford new cloth, don't use the wool suit that might have helped a poor person get a job, or keep them from being quite as cold...
    (OK off my soapbox... sorry for the rant)
    Last time I checked, this was a free country and we can do what we choose with what we buy. Did you ever look at the people shopping in the thrift shops? They are not poor people?

    I read your post, and you said not to buy a wool suit that some poor person could buy to wear to a job.

    No, I didnt. I never said ANY of that. Just the first part. I can scroll back and see WHO wrote it for you, if you want.

    I agree - I went on Sunday with a load of coupons and came out with a spool of thread and a tape measure - the only things I found not on sale :D but then I didn't spend much :D
