Has anyone shopped here?
 
This online store: http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm

has amazingly low prices. I wonder if anyone's bought anything there.

I shop there and have always been happy with fabric and thread. Just tried their LA thread and love it. I also buy books when on sale from them. I think it is a great place for online shopping. Just remember everyone has different experiences anywhere they go.
peace

Everyone has probably shopped there. :thumbup: It is a good sight to buy from. When I took my quilting class, the instructor was telling me about it. She said it is so nice to sit in your jammies, order fabric and then have it delivered in a timely fashion. Love your avatar!!!

I shop there often and have never been unhappy with either service, shipping or quality. I love the Essentials thread too...color matched to fabrics!

Sarah in Brooklyn 08-15-2012 02:45 PM

Uh oh! I almost wish you'd all said it was awful! Now I have no excuse not to shop there! Thanks!

I put in an order almost every month and never have been disappointed. Super quality, prices and service. Shopping at CT can be extremely addicting.

i buy 95% of my threads from Connecting threads- i pick up battings when they are having a great sale- i've picked up a few other things from them- they have free shipping at the $50 level- so i take advantage of that- they have good customer service- have been around for a long time & my orders have arrived quickly (sometimes the day before i get the email saying it shipped) :)

Lori S 08-15-2012 04:01 PM

Some really love it ... others not so much.. I suggest placing a limited order to make sure it meets your expectations.

BSKTLOFR-QUILTER 08-15-2012 04:01 PM

Yes, I've bought from them and have been completely happy. In fact I need to put an order in soon. I always shop their sales. As mentioned above there are no guarantees but I've had very good luck in fast service from them. I've been pleased with their thread.

Briarberry 08-15-2012 04:16 PM

I order from them all the time. Their prices are great especially when they have sales which is often.

crafty pat 08-15-2012 04:25 PM

I have always loved everything I bought from them, great service also.

BellaBoo 08-15-2012 05:43 PM

Connecting Threads have been around for years! I shop online from them at least once a month.

Sarah in Brooklyn 08-15-2012 06:05 PM

I just ordered a pot holder kit (on sale) and the special batting for hot stuff. So excited!

susie-susie-susie 08-15-2012 06:10 PM

I've ordered a lot from them. Especially thread. I have always been happy with their service and with the merchandise. They ship quickly, too.

I order from them pretty often...decent fabrics...especially the batiks are priced right. I like there threads for free motion...they work right with my machines...

roseville rose 08-15-2012 07:52 PM

I really like their thread but have not liked some of their fabric--dull colors.

spokanequilter 08-15-2012 08:06 PM

I have shopped at connectingthreads.com many, many times. I have made several of their kits and have not been disappointed with the fabric quality or the patterns. Love their Essentials thread!!

Maggiemay 08-15-2012 08:07 PM

I've ordered from them. Beautiful fabrics, great prices & great service. I must say though I do find their thread too "linty" for my taste. I do machine quilting & FMQ on my DMS & have to be careful when using their thread to clean out my bobbin area frequently.

sewbeadit 08-16-2012 01:28 AM

Right now in their catalog, they have a big tool sale at 40% off. Don't know if that is for online or not, but you can go check.

Jackie Spencer 08-16-2012 04:04 AM

I love their thread, must have about 200 spools. I buy it when its on sale, but even their everyday price is great!!

patsynel 08-16-2012 04:32 AM

I have shopped at Connecting Threads quite a few times and have been very pleased. I like their thread.

mawluv 08-16-2012 01:56 PM

Love CT , especially their sales!

j deemer 08-17-2012 02:54 AM

I have and am very pleased with the fabric now.

joyce j 08-17-2012 03:04 AM

yes I shop there. never had any thing wrong. Great service. joyce j

leighway 08-17-2012 03:46 AM

I've been very happy with my transactions. All the items I've bought have been of good quality and I've enjoyed the customer service.

gramacheri 08-17-2012 04:14 AM

One of the best on-line stores I have ever come across. You won't be dissappointed!

karenpatrick 08-17-2012 04:26 AM

All the time and they are great. Just took advantage of their thread sale. They have first quality fabric at a reasonable price.

glorcour 08-17-2012 04:35 AM

Yes I have bought from them and was very happy with the fabric. Quilt is lovely/

Pieces2 08-17-2012 04:41 AM

I was wondering the same thing. I was concerned about the low prices.
Low prices usually means poor quality fabrics. Is the fabric QS quality?

annthreecats 08-17-2012 04:51 AM

I have placed several orders and I love their fabric and their cotton thread. I just placed a new order last night for thread, fabric and batting.

teddysmom 08-17-2012 04:54 AM

Yes, I've bought kits from them and been very satisfied.

I've never been disappointed. They're prompt with mailing as well.

FURBALLS 08-17-2012 05:32 AM

I buy from them. Like the fabric and the thread.

janiesews 08-17-2012 05:40 AM

Love to shop there. They are very good about replacing if something is not right. Quality is good and I love their thread.

Eyelets 08-17-2012 05:57 AM

I love Connecting Threads. The site is eye candy and they are really good about customer service - while you are at it, I recommend the Pedal Mat, which I got two of recently - great little mats to keep that foot pedal from slipping all over the place, and at a really nice price point! :) I like the thread too. It is made in India. I emailed to ask the thread origin, so that is good to know - India is known for cotton fabric and they certainly make a nice thread.

bobquilt3 08-17-2012 05:58 AM

The only thing I have bought here is thread and was very satisfied with it. Seldom buy fabric on line as I got poor quality a couple of times so stick to local shops. Also, living in Lancaster, there a a good supply of shops and I don't "have" to shop on line.

Rose_P 08-17-2012 06:01 AM

It's a very popular site. I have been happy with my purchases, especially their Essential thread.

Me too. Although I'm trying to use my stash instead of buying fabrics I always need red, blues, etc. for my scrappy quilts. Since Joann's no longer carries Hobbs 80/20 I order it from Connecting Threads when they have their big batting sales. I go through the whole on line catalog to find other sale price items I need so I can take advantage of their free shopping if you spend a certain amount, think it's now $50.

carla m 08-17-2012 06:08 AM

i love connecting threads also i just wish they took paypal theyre service is great and so are theyre products i love the thread they have so many colors its almost all i use and i love the free shipping at 50 dollars its hard not to spend 50 dollars there lol. theyre shipping is really fast too. ive never had a wrong order but ive heard here theyre customer service is great too.

PKGranny 08-17-2012 06:55 AM

If you notice on their fabric it says made in the USA. I like that!
