I have bought a number of their quilt kits. The fabric is wonderful and they always give you extra. When I made their Lonestar quilt there was enough left to put a big lonestar on the back. They ship quickly. I just can't say enough good about them. I have only had one problem with them. They shipped the wrong fabric. ( eight yards of it.) I contacted them by Email and they called the next day. They sent out the correct fabric that day and told me I could keep the wrong fabric as their way of saying sorry for the inconvenience. That was eight yards of free fabric. I was in heaven.

I have made numerous projects with their fabric, including 2 kits, and have really like them. I also use many of their threads.
I received an order yesterday only to find out it was supposed to go to Alaska. I called them and they told me to keep it, but they were sending a duplicate order to the correct place. In addition, because my order may have been compromised, they are sending another package with my order. Today, my order arrived. Betcha a duplicate comes in a couple days.

I've looked at their charm packs and have been tempted to order some to see but I'm not sure what quality they would be for $3.00. I think I'll hold off for a bit :)

I am one of those quilter's that will only use quilt shop quality and name brand fabric......(please nobody say anything bad) However....I do buy connecting threads fabric....to give away. It is a second run material. (second rate)but they have such reasonable prices and cute lines..you an hardly deny them....I LOVE their thread.

CT use to sell fabrics not manufactured to their specifications. I have some still in my stash and I can tell a big difference in quality from what they sell now. I buy a lot of their fabric lines in sampler packs and the kits I have from them are as good as any I buy from Fons and Porter, Keepsakes, or Fat Quarter Shop.

I bought some of their fabric last year and found it to be quite nice and thick, even thicker than some of the "name brand" fabrics I have. I have made my son a couple of pillowcases from the forest line they had a few months back and washed them and washed them and they still look great, no noticeable shrinkage and the print still looks fine( I line dry though, since I don't use my dryer). I guess the only way you are going to know what the fabric is like is if you take the plunge and buy some.
