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 have bought fabric, kits & thread from them. Always was pleased. They are a nice place to deal with too. Also free shipping after $50.00.

Connecting Threads says they will take back anything you are not satisfied with, no questions.

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.

I've not used much of their fabric but have been happy with everything else I've ordered from them.
