I like their fabrics. Do you quilt for Quilts for Kids? We have a local chapter and make lots. I sell fabric and I sell to them at my cost + shipping. It's about 3 yards for $10.00. I've attached a sample. Tell me more about your charity quilting.
Linda Rae Focal Fabric $3.50 [ATTACH=CONFIG]117494[/ATTACH] Blenders $3.50 [ATTACH=CONFIG]117495[/ATTACH] Solids $2.50 [ATTACH=CONFIG]117496[/ATTACH] |
Does anyone have a link to connecting threads, please? - I've not heard of them before.

I love batiks so took a chance on Connecting Threads batiks at $5.96/yard. It is wonderful. The colors are vibrant. The fabric has a nice hand to it. I, for one, will be going back for more! At that price, you can't beat it!

Click on About Kaltex. It is a huge industry. |

Speaking of prices - check the difference in CT pre-cut prices vs. big name mfr'r prices - WOW. I think CT is a step above most of Joann's fabrics but I was disappointed in the tone - everything I ordered seemed a bit dull. Hence, my idea to buy charms as samples. I also like their thread - cheaper than Superior, though not as thin for log cabins, etc. - and great to use in the bobbin when I'm quilting, in addition to piecing. |

Connecting Threads website says they use 100% US cotton and they display the Cotton USA label. However, all that label means is that the cotton was grown in the US, not that the fabric is made here. In fact, if you read the site carefully, some fabrics clearly state they are printed overseas. The reality is that the fabric probably was not woven in the US, nor printed in the U.S. Does someone have other information that shows otherwise? I can't find anywhere on the site that it says the fabric actually is made in the U.S.

hsquiltingmom,
I received a kit from one of our quilters and it came from CT and I love the material. I think it beats JoAnn's by far. They have such nice stuff. Shirley |

One other thought - CT fabrics can't be any worse than making a quilt w/fabrics found at thrift stores - tough to truly determine quality and content with those. |
I have bought Connecting Threads fabrics and have loved them. Some may not think the quality is as good as LQS, but, the cost isn't as high either. Very good quality and very good prices.
