Everyone says the Essentials Cotton thread is great? I bought some last year, and it has got to be the lintiest stuff I have ever used. Now maybe it was just the batch, or my machine or a dozen other variables, but I find it very linty when using it in my Janome and tangles alot when using it for hand sewing.. So should I try the Essentials poly instead? That being said about CT thread, I do love their fabric and their service.

I ordered the .98 cent fabric, not expecting anything great. I was very surprised. I ordered a half yard of each one on the plaid. The fabric has a Moda 'feel' to it and I am pleased. I plan on making DP9 blocks with it for a guys lap quilt. I was also surprised to find out on the red, they sent me a yard instead of a half yard. No extra charge to it.
I also ordered Essential thread and will be trying it out soon. I also got a bag pattern that was download. I really love the bag pattern. I have nothing bad to say about Connecting Threads and will order from them again. :)

I love CT have ordered many yards of fabric an never been stung. I also use there thread but I was also taught to clean the bobbin area everytime you change a bobbin & this I do so have no complaints there either. Thread & fabric are great.

I can't even tell you the number of hundreds of dollars I have spent at CT (they should pay me a fee lol) Even with being in Canada, it's so much cheaper for me to order from them and I have never been disappointed in anything. If anybody is sitting on the fence about them, now would be a great time to buy, they have a ton of fabric on sale. JMHO Wendy
