I've gotten kits, fabric, thread and lots of other "stuff" and have always been pleased. I think the fabric is great. Go for it!

I have bought their fabric and have loved it. I am totally addicted to their charm packs especially for the price. I use it mainly to make pincushions and they turn out so beautiful. Have only ordered 1 of the kits (pincushion) and was very pleased w/ product, directions and they do ship quickly!
I think if you try them you will not be disappointed. Have converted several of my friends to ordering and they are pleased!

I have found their thread and fabric to be very good quality.

Just love CT. I have never had any problems with their fabric or thread. Love the prices. Free shipping over $50.

I love their fabric and thread. In fact I just ordered from them this morning. Free shipping for anything over $50. That's great.Fabric is good quality.

I'm one who doesn't really care for their fabric. I've only ordered FQ and charm packs, but the fabric seems to be more loosely woven and feels like it has a coating of some sort on it. I am, by no means, a fabric "snob". I buy at my LQS only when I buy their end-of-bolt or clearance. Online I prefer to buy from Marshall Dry Goods or Missouri Star Quilt Co, or a couple others that my old, tired brain can't remember right now.

i really, really like their thread and am super excited about their prices!!! i've FMQ several spools of the thread already with no problems.
and the quality of their fabrics are nice. i'm on my second quilt with this fabric. no worries at all with the fabric.
looking forward to ordering more thread and rotary blades. :)

I too only use quilt shop/name brand fabrics, but do use CT's neutral threads-(last catalog their price did go up 50 cents).

I bought a pillowcase kit from them. It was not pre-cut, just yardage. I have not washed the fabric yet, so I don't know how it will perform. But the fabric is the softest 100% cotton I've ever felt. I guess that makes me skeptical, since quilt shop fabrics are not like this.

I have found that the fabric and thread from Connecting Threads are great and THEY JUST DROPPED THIER PRICES. I got a notice that blenders are now $3.96 and most other fabrics are $4.96. They also have batiks, haven't tried them but I plan to at just $5.96 a yard. Sometimes a few of the fabrics I received have seemed to be woven a little loose, but they are just wonderful after a quick wash and have been holding up for me for the last two years.
