After reading another thread here, I see that Connecting Threads has some clearance fabrics on for 2.48/yard (under clearance fabrics).

Have any of you bought this fabric? What is it like? (It's on page 11 of the clearance fabrics). They have some interesting designs. I keep looking for the "catch" as it seems too good to be true.

Most people seem satisfied with their orders from Connecting Threads. Does this include these cheaper fabrics?

I have ordered these......they are nice quality. I have purchased the same when they weren't on sale! Free shipping on orders over $50 - no problem here. I usually purchase at least 2 yards of anything I order. Though, I love the Cream Roots and have ordered as much as 4 at a time. The Quilters Candy seems to be my favorite selection now.....though I did see the latest collection....my oh my, oh my.

Deb, do you know how their cotton quilting and polyester quilting thread are?

They are not cheaper fabrics. They are fabrics that they have to move in order to bring in more. I have a closet full of them and they are good quality.

I don't have a closet full, but I have ordered from them several times. I always check the clearance fabrics. Much better quality than most of JoAnn's quilting fabrics. Books are 40% off until the end of the month, I think. And, you can preview several of the pages.

I order from them all the time and always look for clearance fabrics first. They are the same fabric, just that they are clearing out to put in newer lines, etc. I have bought fabric from them at the reasonable low regular price and then found it in clearance months later. Never had a problem with the quality. Most of my stash is from them as most of my shopping is online since it is so far for me to drive to buy fabric. In fact, I have a shopping cart full with clearance fabric ready to order when I get paid.

I have been very please with all the clearance fabrics I have bough from them

I order from them on clearence stuff all the time & it's all good stuff. You won't go wrong.

I agree with everyone else. Their clearance fabric is top quality.

no issues at all, been very pleased

I, too, love Connecting Threads fabric. My Bernina and I love their Essentials Cotton thread.

I ordered from them many times in the past with no issues whatsoever. They have awesome customer service should you ever need to call them. :)

Its my favorite on line shop.
I buy alot from them.
Only had one problem with a layer cake. I washed it and one of the fabrics shrank alot. Will not wash precuts again.
their thread makes to much lint for me and my machines dont like it.
But love the fabrics and they just keep getting better and better with their fabric lines. They are in touch with us quilters.

I love ordering from them and knowing that I will get top quality fabrics are great sale prices.

I have not ordered any thread, as I bought several 5500 cones when Superior threads had their sale - Robison-Anton rayon....they were $6.00 a cone....I know several QB members have used CT thread, and I do know there was a thread (no pun intended) on this very topic. As for the clearance fabric, I am placing another order, how can you beat less than $3 a yard on fabric that is $6-$8 to begin with??? I do love the feel of the fabric, it almost has a silky feel to it.

I LOVE connecting threads- their clearance fabrics are their regular fabrics that are older lines, and need to be cleared out of the warehouse.

They have great regular prices too, although I've found with a coupon and a sale, fabric.com OFTEN beats CT's prices. I just got a bunch of batiks at fabric.com for a little less than CT's price.

Thanks everyone! I was so surprised when I saw the clearance prices. I just kept trying to see if it was that for "half yard" or something.

I will definitely bookmark that store!

I love CT, and have bought a lot of fabrics, including the ones on clearance! Never have I been disappointed. I must say, when I first found them I also thought, "No way could this be correct price, and or how good is this fabric?" I am so glad I went ahead and ordered...except for the fact that now I can hardly stay away...and with the free shipping if you spend over $50.00 that makes it harder...as I think, "Hmm...well, maybe I do need to get ______ to make it to the free shipping.." lol...
Take care,

Generally, I've been happy with my orders (I've had 2 from them). However, I will say that I find that some of their fabrics are a much looser weave than others and tend to fray a lot on the edges. No doubt it depends on who the maker is, but you can't always tell.

I have bought from Connecting Threads several times and have not been disappointed. I will continue to order from them. I like their thread and fabric. I have purchased a couple of kits and have been happy with them also. Their service is great.

Love connecting threads. I have an order ready to go as I type!

I use Connecting Threads often. Love them. Love, love, LOVE their cotton thread. I buy the big spools and use it for ALL my piecing. I've bought their fabrics on several occasions, and it's great. They've got great customer service, too. I recommend them highly!

All good and the icing on this cake...
