I originally purchased a quilt kit from them and absolutely loved the fabric. Loved the weight of it, the feel of it, the colors, etc. They had included a little extra fabric so I didn't have to worry about cutting it too close. The quilt turned out beautifully. I went back online and ordered more fabric for a king-sized quilt and am just as satisfied with this fabric as I was with the kit. I use their Essential Threads exclusively. Their service is very fast and I will be their customer for a long time!

I buy alot of their fabric and love it. I am not into bright colors so they are right for me.
Thier fabric is made in the USA and is very good quality.
They are priced very reasonable and the sales are fantastic.
I prefer smaller prints and not to bright colors.

I buy from Connecting Threads a lot. My Elna and I love their thread, it doesn't cause a lot of lint to build up in the machine and it is silky to work with.

The fabrics are wonderful, I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased. They are high quality and very easy to quilt with.

I think somebody should send this thread to Connecting Threads -- that way they'll understand how much we love 'em!! :D

Actually my order shows 74 cents for fat quarters PLUS the CHARM promo code is still working as of December 28th! That's 15% off.

In the Connecting Threads catalog, they say their fabric is made in North America. Since they don't say "made in the USA", I assume that some of the processing is done in Canada.

I have bought tons of things from Connecting Threads in the past, but very little fabric. They have a 40% off book sale every so often and I love that you can "peek" inside a book on their site. I've also bought tools from them. Their site is very easy to navigate and it's easy to spend $50 for the free shipping.

:D :D :D

Hmmm... Mexico is in North America too... sweat shops? I hope not!

Hmmm, very good point. I thought Mexico was Central America, but I just looked it up on Wikipedia and it is part of North America.
