I order all my thread from Connecting Threads. I love that Egyptian cotton. I get the Essential.! I get the sets. The first set was a set of the ecru thread, 1,200 yards - and the second was the Homestead. I like getting the sets cuz everything blends and I'll have that thread forever. I bought the ecru, I believe it was 12 spools two years ago and I have one on the machine and 9 in the drawer. And you can't beat the price! Edie

Thanks Neesie for that thread. I've been looking for Finish Line bobbin thread & couldn't find it!

Connecting Thread had free shipping the other day so they may be a delay in processing so many orders. Great company to buy from.

I buy alot from Connecting Threads and always over 50 dollars for no shipping charges.
I live in a rural area so it seems to take longer for orders. Placed one with Hancocks of Paducah and it is taking forever to get.

Hancocks of Paducah is one of the worst for me. I would never order from them if I was in a hurry. I usually just buy from their sales for stash enhancement.

Definitely contact them. I ordered from eQuilter (I use them a lot and they are always quick, but Colorado was on fire at the time.. where they are) and when it didn't come as fast as usual I waited a bit because of the fire and then called. They told me it had been sent! It still didn't come. It turned out the PO people had put it in a "package box" and had put the key in the WRONG PO box! It showed up on a sorting table in the outer part of the post office and someone took it into the main part and said this opened package was out on the table. Guess whoever took it home either didn't look at the address or wasn't into fabrics! I was able to cancel the duplicate order before it was shipped.

have ordered from Connecting threads and took about a week to send out. They do not send out of US or Canada but I was able to place and pay for an order and get it sent to a US postal address and they shipped it on to me. They used priority mail by mistake but it still worked out cheaper than buying here plus I really liked the choice of fabrics and the thread it was on sale and I bought loads!

I have been in Hancock's of Paducah and watched them fill orders! They work hard, but there are only so many of them cutting the fabric to fill the orders--and they have to wait on the customers in the store at the same time. And believe me, they have plenty of customers!! They do take a while (I live about 5 hours from them) but their selection is wonderful!

I have placed lots of orders with Connecting Threads and have always had fast return. I have also called them several times with questions and they are very helpful. Love um!

I have ordered with them four times. This is a normal timeframe. It is worth it. I love their thread.
