I love their kits, I have done 3 or 4 pattern was clear and concise and there was plenty of fabric. I have had problems with other kits where the fabric ran short.

I ordered several kits and didn't think the fabric was a good quality. I like their patterns and wish they offered more patterns instead of having to buy the whole kit.

I have no idea what type of quality fabric seems to be so much better then the CT fabric. I order fabric from Keepsakes, Missouri Star Quilting, Fat Quarter Shop, Hancock's of Paducah, Bali Batik, hand dyed fabric from designers, fabric at the AQS quilt museum, and have many fat quarters from national quilt show vendors. I know quality fabric and CT fabric is not poor quality. I will admit Liberty of London's best cotton fabric is better but it's better then all quilting fabric anyway.

Yes, yes and yes. Who can afford $10.00 a yd. I would rather purchase from Connecting Threads. I have yet to be disappointed, and am not quite so upset if I make an error.

One of the ladies in our guild orders their kits all the time. they are lovely. I use lots of their "essentials" thread for thread painting, When I want more shine in thread painting I use Marathon thread.

I've purchased a lot of their fabric and agree that it's typically not as nice as LQS lines, but it's decent. I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but it's not the same quality as a lot of my stash. I buy it if I like it and know it may be a bit thinner, but I think it holds up just fine.

I've never purchased fabric, but their threads are nice.

I have to give one more cooment on the good side of CT. Everything I have ordered from them has been great, fabric, thread and kits. Fast service and very helpful. I will definitely order from them again.

I have purchased lots of their thread, I love it. I have also ordered a few kits and books. No problems with quality or service. I often recommend them.
