I love their fabrics and threads - I've got quite a bit of the lines they came out with about three years ago - Riviera, Cheep Talk, Mama's Cottons, Audrey's Kitchen, Breeze, Sip of Summer & Golden Afternoon.

I recently bought a lot of Mirage and solids for applique and when I stocked up on fusible batts last week, I ordered five yards of the Bits & Bobbins line. I love the feel of their fabrics and I love their colors.

Some people don't like CT fabrics, though, so I would order charm packs from a few different lines to test it myself.

Have fun! :)

I've ordered kits and the fabric is wonderful, no complaints on any of the fabric I have received.

I have ordered from them once and for the most part I like it; I was a little disappointed in the strip cuts though because they were cut a bit off grain. They sent me a fabric that I didn't order and when I called them they said no problem, keep it (it was only 2 yards) and sent me the correct fabric @ no charge. Couldn't argue witrh that :-)

I really like their fabrics. It "feels" so nice before and after it's washed.

I have some coming. Blue with white snowflakes. Backing for some Christmas panels...I have NEVER had anything wrong with any of their products. I live 38 miles from the nearest fabric store,,,in this case,,it's just a WalMart. If I need something special, it's (either) Connecting Threads or Keepsake Quilting. Both have quality fabric. I try and caught their sales...I usually know what I'm going to need..

Just made another order today. I love the clearance kits. I can grab one for a trip and it's all in one neat package, and always have a great gift for quilter who needs a gift. I tried the Essential Pro Poly cone thread for machine quilting. It didn't break or shred when I was doing FMQ with a topstitch needle size 17/90 so it's a winner for me.
