I ordered some fabric yesterday from connecting threads, I was wondering what you think of the fabric, it looks really nice on-line.
Thank-you so much for your opinions,

I love the fabric I have from them.

There was a discussion a little while ago with varying opinions of Connecting Threads both good and bad. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-125731-1.htm#3335480

I have ordered several times and love, love their fabric. I have never been disappointed in the quality.

The thread mentioned above will have lots of info for you.

I love their fabrics! I just ordered a bunch more and have them right here. Wishing I had time to sew...

belmer 06-21-2011 05:47 PM

This is my Favorite place to purchase fabric and books. I have had such great customer service from them.... I think this quilting board is keeping them in business!

Quilt Girl 06-21-2011 05:52 PM

I love their fabrics and they have good prices on books too.

I like the fabric a lot! Good quality and feels great after washing as well!

feffertim 06-21-2011 06:53 PM

big fan

BarbaraSue 06-21-2011 07:53 PM

i haven't ordered any but mostly because of a conversation at my quilt guild where more than one didn't like the "feel" of the fabric. Not having it with them i have no idea what was their concern. I'm sure that they are like any other place. some lots might not be of the same as another.

Nice fabric but shrink a LOT. Prewash and use lots of starch.

lucniak 06-22-2011 02:50 AM

I love their fabics, very easy to work with.

sueisallaboutquilts 06-22-2011 03:37 AM

Love buying from them. I just got some of their tonals on sale. Very good price. The yellow (buttercup I think they call it) turned out to be a lot brighter than my monitor showed but I am going to use the back instead b/c I like it better. :)

Roberta 06-22-2011 04:52 AM

I've never been disappointed in their fabric. In fact I bought some batik's and some from HOP and the HOP fabric is thin and not good quality. The CT fabric is wonderful and easy to work with.

Phyllis42 06-22-2011 05:17 AM

Received the artichoke table runner kit last week. Almost done quilting and ready for the binding. Love it.

joivey 06-22-2011 05:27 AM

I am perfectly satisfied with their fabrics.

I order regularly from Connecting Thread and I have not been disappointed. Good prices and nice fabric.

CarrieAnne 06-22-2011 05:47 AM

I love their stuff!

BettyBoop70 06-22-2011 06:17 AM

I use a lot of their fabric and I love it.

twinkie 06-22-2011 06:33 AM

I have ordered a few times from them and haven't had any problems with their fabric. I would order from them again. No matter what place you get fabric from, you will find someone who doesn't like it for some reason or another.

Jo Mama 06-22-2011 06:50 AM

I really like their fabric and their thread.

judykay 06-22-2011 07:13 AM

I love their kits and the fabric in them have always been wonderful.

Barb44 06-22-2011 07:19 AM

I have ordered a lot from them and have been very satisfied. They do not put a lot of sizing in their fabrics, so after prewashing they are just as nice (not flimsy) and I have not noticed any shrinkage. The fabric has a very nice feel. I especially like their mirage line.

quiltingnana1 06-22-2011 07:31 AM

I like it. Never had a problem.

thepolyparrot 06-22-2011 07:48 AM

I love their fabrics and threads - I've got quite a bit of the lines they came out with about three years ago - Riviera, Cheep Talk, Mama's Cottons, Audrey's Kitchen, Breeze, Sip of Summer & Golden Afternoon.

I recently bought a lot of Mirage and solids for applique and when I stocked up on fusible batts last week, I ordered five yards of the Bits & Bobbins line. I love the feel of their fabrics and I love their colors.

Some people don't like CT fabrics, though, so I would order charm packs from a few different lines to test it myself.

Have fun! :)

Iamquilter 06-22-2011 10:11 AM

I have ordered several time from them and have never been dissapointed.

catladyquilts 06-22-2011 10:22 AM

I've ordered kits and the fabric is wonderful, no complaints on any of the fabric I have received.

Quilter2B 06-22-2011 10:24 AM

I have ordered from them once and for the most part I like it; I was a little disappointed in the strip cuts though because they were cut a bit off grain. They sent me a fabric that I didn't order and when I called them they said no problem, keep it (it was only 2 yards) and sent me the correct fabric @ no charge. Couldn't argue witrh that :-)

gramacheri 06-22-2011 10:41 AM

I really like their fabrics. It "feels" so nice before and after it's washed.

minky 06-22-2011 01:23 PM

I have some coming. Blue with white snowflakes. Backing for some Christmas panels...I have NEVER had anything wrong with any of their products. I live 38 miles from the nearest fabric store,,,in this case,,it's just a WalMart. If I need something special, it's (either) Connecting Threads or Keepsake Quilting. Both have quality fabric. I try and caught their sales...I usually know what I'm going to need..

Katts 14 06-22-2011 01:31 PM

I think everybody orders from thier and is never disapointed

twixbar 06-22-2011 02:11 PM

Thank-you all so very much for your opinions, I am really looking forward to receiving mine.

BellaBoo 06-22-2011 02:26 PM

Just made another order today. I love the clearance kits. I can grab one for a trip and it's all in one neat package, and always have a great gift for quilter who needs a gift. I tried the Essential Pro Poly cone thread for machine quilting. It didn't break or shred when I was doing FMQ with a topstitch needle size 17/90 so it's a winner for me.

sew1 06-22-2011 04:09 PM

Love their fabric. Just ordered some more today. Received an order today and even love the sale fabric. Good quality and love the feel of it.
