I ordered from them about a month ago a navy blue fabric and a cranberry red and I was not happy with the way they washed the navy blue had a white faded line on the fold I blamed it on me because t I didn't open the width when I put it in the washer but I did open the cranberry red and layered it in the washer when I took it out of the dryer it was worse then the navy blue white lines going through the whole 2 yrds of fabric no way I could anything with it except fmq practice and I also ordered 2 large spools of 50wt white thread 1 cone was good the other cone was lousy thread kept coming off the spool about every 3 feet I can't wind a full bobbin with it now I use that for hand needle work.but then again I did some nice fabric about a year ago

Connecting Threads has great customer service. You can call them if you get fabric and threads that are duds. They really take care of you. I have ordered fabric and thread from them and have been very happy.

Count me as a happy content customer! Everything I've made from their fabrics has washed wonderfully and fading has not happened. On my latest quilt, their representative found the perfect color thread for me - she was a real person that cared about a customer.

I am always careful with any saturated color for a project, from any manufacturer. I do not wash fabric before using it - I wash a sample to make sure it does what I want. I prefer the dimention of stitches!

I have never had trouble with the quality of their fabric. I have bought a lot and it has always been of good quality.

I saw that they had a few Mirage fabrics. I have ordered Mirage and the quality was good. Understand that's all I ordered so all I can comment on

I am sure if you called them and complained they would make it right. I bought a kit and pannel was missing which was needed to make quilt and they gave me $30 plus dollars credit and I got to keep yards of fabric, in large peices and that is only time I have had a problem with them. Anything else I got from them has been great, including charm packs. Let them know about your red and blue material, it should not have done that. I too pre wash and have to 50 years, better than find out materal runs, shrinks etc and you can get bad material anywhere even if you pay a lot for it. Way back, sewing clothes you wanted to make sure material didn't shrink and colors run and it was standard to prewash.

I have never had a problem with their fabric and have ordered from them many times.

Someone told me a while back that CT had changed manufacturers because of so many complaints with their original fabrics. They were odd off colors, coarse and not very appealing to me. The pieces I have ordered more recently have been much better quality. I have had problems with their threads. For some reason my Janomes do not like it.

I have had good luck with Connecting Threads and I'm thinking about taking advantage of their current sale.
