LoL I don't think they will be outsourcing the jobs to Asia (or anyplace else!) They have a call center in Vancouver WA and the warehouse is in OH ... it's a great company to work for!

Connecting Threads does not send their jobs to Asia - they grow cotton here in the states and manufacture all their fabrics here too...

I love their fabrics and will buy from them all the time - as long as they keep their jobs here in the states!!!

I have been tempted to buy fabric from Connecting Threads but wasn't sure of the quality. Sounds like I can buy with confidence. Question though, is it the same quality as quilt shop fabric????

I love Connecting Threads other than they won't honor free shipping to us Americans up here. I just bought a bunch of batting from them. The shipping was worth it too.

All CT fabrics made in USA!

They have batting on sale until the middle of August. I love Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 and if you order on line and spend $50.00 they will ship free (at least that's how I read the ad). I'm planning on ordering the batting (Joann's doesn't carry this brand anymore) and I'm going to try some of their fabric as well. That's for your opinion.

I mean thanks for your opinion not that's for your opinion. Getting late, better not start quilting. Who knows what a mess I'll make of things

Lower prices........yeah. I love Connecting Threads anyway and now I have an even better reason to shop there.

Most kits if they include borders (and it's a large quilt) they are pieced borders. the people who put together the kits do not cut the fabrics lengthwise, they cut salvage to salvage (across the width) so if the border is longer than 40" it is going to be a pieced border. this is normal. It is amazing that they will send you a lengthwise cut new border fabric for free; but i love their site so just one more gold star for them !
