This is going to be bad. My quilting teachers were raving about connecting threads so i had to come check it out. I was fabric shopping last night while everyone was in bed. I got some cool stuff but it was way too easy...

Ah oooh!!!!

Been there and done that too :lol: :lol: :lol:

I try to stay away from them. When I get their emails I delete them quickly. LOL!!

I love their stuff!

I feel that way about keepsakequilting. sigh!

I have ordered many times from their sister site knit picks, and currently have an order sitting in my 'basket' now I need to go downstairs and find my card (the one DH does not see) to finish checking out :-)

I ordered awhile ago after reading all the nice things about the company. Well, I am on my third order from them. I have received all good quality fabric, the colors are true and mimimal shrinkage when washed and dried. The sale prices were just too good to pass up. Shipping is very quick!

I have a budget for my sewing and I almost always save it for this board and for connecting threads. If I go over I make sure it is on some night when it is just me up late!LOL

I love them, their fabric is so pretty and the quality is wonderful. Great prices too, their sales are awesoeme

I won't even look on those sites anymore and LQSs are out too. This being retired and limited income is not fun yet!

oh yea.. I love them. Love a good stock up sale. :D They are dangerous. I just keep adding fabric to my cart and before you know it, I could max out a CC. :D

Connecting Threads is definitly one of my very favorite places to purchase fabrics and books,ect. Very good quality and service.

yes i also love knit picks!!!!! I have been ordering from them for years. I am excited to get my order I know they have great customer service and products.

LOL we must have the same card...

I never have a problem getting free shipping from CT for sure! I love their fabric and thread.

Me too :thumbup:

I seriously just ordered 20 charm packs and a book from them two nights ago.....sigh....and that one fabric I couldn't pass up on the board....and that e-bay bid I won..... still haven't mentioned all that hubby lol maybe I'll make a cheesecake tomorrow....

Yes, they are dangerous. I get caught up with the free shipping with $50 or more orders, and I keep adding just one more thing, and then just one more thing, and before I know it, I've spent a bundle.

Me too! Ordered last night to reward myself for making the last 2 of my projects totally with stash...now how crazy is that.

It is so easy to get carried away. Been there done that.

Has anyone used their thread? I would like input if you have. Thanks.

Connecting Threads - I've never been disappointed. I recently used their 1/2 price sale to stock up on some batiks and blenders -

Online shopping is great to do and I agree it is hard to control. LOL. It is not even like spending real money...just put in some numbers, click a button and there you go...beautiful fabric arrives in a few days. It is like magic.

I love CT!!! Yes, it can be dangerous.... But so much fun!

My favorite, been buying from them for years. Never disappointed the fabric quality is great. And free shipping over $50.00 what could go wrong. haha
Have a Blessed day

Well said! I've ordered fromthem for several years now :thumbup:

I agree 100%! So I try not too look!! :wink:

Normally Connecting Threads gives you free shipping on orders of $50 or more, but you can use the following code to get free shipping on lower-dollar orders:

FPFRESH - I used this code just a few minutes ago to get some more of those Mirage fabrics for $2.96 a yard :mrgreen:

Also you can try APQFRESH. I haven't tried it myself, but it's supposed to give you free shipping too.

Both expire 6/1/11 according to the retailmenot website. :)

I use their thread all the time and love it. I use it for quilting, piecing and just plain sewing.

moonrise, now i have to go back and pick out some more things and try the shipping code! Grrr and yet Thanks! lol

I need Fabriholics annonymous!

They had a fantastic sale not long ago and I got 7 packs of fat quarters at 40% - 50% off. They are having another great sale now, so here I go again.....

I love their thread, free shipping, fabric, selection, the people!

ROFLOL

ROFLOL

I'm with you. I do get into trouble. I have started just deleting the e-mails I get. It is too easy to talk myself into getting things I really don't need. I do like CT though. I have ordered many times from them and had great service.

LOL! :lol: Sorry ... :oops: :mrgreen:

I get most of my fabric from Connecting threads and I love it. Has anyone ordered from Avalon Bloom?? Especially a kit?? Wasn't as happy with mine as I thought I would be.

moonrise :) I hold no grudges, now I have some basting glue, golden threads quilting paper, fabric, and paper piecing double wedding ring comin my way! free shipping worked great! (only spent 30 bucks this time)

Several times I have gone to their site to purchase one spool of thread. Amazing how 1 spool usually costs $50 ;-)
