However, since I have been organizing my fabric, ironing and refolding it to put in my closet. I can tell you that Connecting Thread's fabric really is beautiful to work with. All the fabric that is in their clearance sale is fabric that has been discontinued from their line.
UGH - thank goodness my purse/credit card is at the other side of the house.
The Greys and I are settled on the bed - maybe tomorrow

I have bought from them for several years now and never knew about seconds. Why did I not know this? Now you tell me and I am being so strict with myself, specially since I have already spent my $171 for the year.

I just purchased a lot of fabric just the other day. It was enough to qualify for free shipping. Now I am trying their clearence fabric with free shipping. Hope I won't be disapointed. I love their fabric and the prices and with free shipping you can't beat that.

I also ordered the matching quilting thread. I would say go for it.

Just bought one of each of their leaf patterns. Can't tell any difference, even though they inform you of it. However, if you are getting a stripe, don't buy a second if you need it to match up straight as that is why those are seconds - they are crooked. Bottom line, patterns are fine, no stripes or items you need to match up.
