#31
As I mentioned before on a thread.I have bought their fabric in large quantity when they have it on 1/2 off sale..and I am very pleased with it. They have some very patterns to chose from for backings.
I was not sorry and I will definitely buy again.

The fabric I bought from Connecting threads, the frost line, when it was on sale(because I'm cheap and well I saw it when it was on sale) was really decent fabric. It's silky smooth and heavy fabric. I haven't noticed any differance and in fact it may be thicker then the scraps I got from the Bernina store.
Though to be honest, I haven't noticed a whole heck of a lot of difference in quilt shop fabric vs Joanns(gasp) or Hancocks. But I will have to say Connecting threads has some of the best quality that I've bought.
The reason they are so cheap if you go and read them on their site, is that they cut out the middleman. They order directly from the mills instead of a another person who delivers it to the quilt shop.

i think thier kits are awesome and the fabric is quality. go ahead, you won't be sorry!
if you can get a friend to order with you, you can get free shipping if you order $50.00!
the new connecting threads mag came the other day, and the thread is back and the new fabrics look super!

I've been ordering from Connecting Threads for about a year and a half, and am very surprised at the comments that their fabrics are not good quality. ALL of the fabrics I have received are very, very nice. They don't feel like they are mostly sizing with a little fabric thrown in. I have to say that I've bought LQS fabric that didn't seem to match the quality of the fabric I ordered through Connecting Threads. I have also gotten to where I only use their Essential Threads.
I think it may be that how each of us defines 'quality fabric' might have slightly different criteria, based on our past experiences and intentions for that fabric. There are no wrong answers.

I have gotten quite a bit of fabric from CT and I have found that it is really good fabric, I have made a couple of baby quilts out of them and they hold up really well. I have compared CT fabric with LQS fabric and couldn't tell the difference in them. I will continue to buy my fabric from CT, and if they make a mistake in your order they will fix it really quick.

Right I need to go find some caffeine, I may or may not have made sense.
