Also to the Canadians who order, you may notice that U.S. orders over 50.00 get free postage? Well Connecting Threads discounts Canadian orders of over 50.00 by the same amount! So if they can post a package for 4.00 to their U.S. customers, they take 4.00 off our postage costs. That's great service in my books. |
I've been told that I need to only use King Tut and Sew fine thread on my Tin Lizzie. My LQS is the only local place to buy it and they charge $32 for a 2000 yd spool. OUCH. I know you could use other threads, I've gotta find something less expensive that does not mess with my tension.

I recently ordered some of the Hobbs batting too, to give it a try but haven't used it yet so the jury is still out for me on that.
I loved their prices so I recently made a second order for a quilt kit that I am planning to make for my DD2's graduation. The fabric looks great! |
I also shopped last night. Bought 13.25 yards & thread. I placed a restriction on my order. Checked today & it was on hold with a message to call them. So I called, figuring some of the clearance fabrics I ordered may not be available. CS Rep told me they have it all & will ship soon :).

:( They don't ship to Aus......Ah well!
|
I did the same thing. Great prices.
|
I have ordered from Connecting Threads 3 times now and have been very pleased with my purchase.
|
Guess I need to go check them out and actually order something. I keep talking myself out of spending money. Crazy, I know!
