I always forget about Connecting threads when I am going to do backing. I end up with wide muslin. I just made myself a sticky . Hopefully now I will remember

Thanks for the info. I have approximately 40 unquilted tops that also need backing fabric. I also love CT, but have not bought any of their "seconds". Thanks again.

I love Connecting Threads. Their seconds are mostly misaligned patterns (ie., plaids, squares, lines, etc). These could be easily used for small project but none are too too "second" not to you usable. Personally, I have never received (and their deliver and f/u is great) material, patterns, threads that I have not thought were of quality. Now, may I have a discount?

I love Connecting threads and have bought tons of fabric from them.I recently bought the leaf pattern seconds and cannot find the flaws at all. I have no problem with their material and they have excellent customer service. Prices are really unbeatable. Blessings, Georgia

I don't think these are seconds but I've bought from AAA Quilter's Supply before and their stuff was wonderful.

They have free shipping for over $100 purchases, $3.85/yd fabric and $1 fat quarters. I repeat, everything I've bought from them was gorgeous fabric.

I've ordered from CT before but did not realize they ever sell "seconds" in the fabrics. I'll have to look closer next time and check them out. :thumbup:
