Last time I ordered from them, they sent twice as much backing fabric that I ordered. One piece had a perfect 5" square cut out of it. I was able to get around it but, I will not order from them again. Some quality of thread isn't as good as it use to be. I only buy now from Hobby Lobby or Wal Mart mainly. I know what I am getting.

Yes I have noticed the thread and the fabric! I was dissapointed in the catalog I got in the mail the other day. Guess I will shop somewhere else....!

Thank you Jeanie & Joey for your input on the white. Next time I place an order I think I will get a couple of yards to just test it. Didn't realize that the Bella could be had so cheap, thanks for the tip Jeanie.
I enjoy purchasing CT fabric because their fabrics seem to be such great blenders and their colors are never muddy. Just as at other sites, I can't foresee spending close to $10 a yard when there are so many great fabrics out there for half the price.

I just got my new catalog yesterday. I wouldn't mind buying the fabric at the price they are selling for if I liked them,however I did not see a one that I liked. I do like some of their own fabrics and will keep ordering those.

You never know about the selling of sites and businesses these days. I was shocked to find out that Amazing Designs bought Sewing With Nancy/Nancy's Notions....they use her name..but it is Amazing Designs....which accounts for a lot of embroidery stuff you see on her sites for the last several years.

i guess ya all dont remember when joann's was selling reasonable quality fabric at reasonable prices. they were taken over by another company, prices went up from 8 to 10 and 12 a yard. the quality went down and we all run there with our coupons to buy the fabric. i'd rather deal in the small mom and pop shop and get a better quality fabric for the money.

I just received the catalog from CT's It has a pretty chevron table runner on the cover. I haven't looked through it yet.

i contacted CT about changes they said they have the same number of new lines of their each year plus the higher price lines to appeal to a wider base.

I have noticed that they are carrying more expensive fabric...I have not heard that Fons and Porter bought them out.

Maybe the reason they sent twice as much was because of the piece that had a 5x5 inch cut out of it? I'm not understanding why you are upset... I would be thrilled if my order was doubled, cut or not cut...
