I think the quality is excellent, unfortunately, I seldom find any prints that I like.

Love their thread, and my machine does too, love their fabric, wish I could afford more and more of it, and it is the most affordable of many sites.

I have had good luck with CT esp the kits. They are generous and if you make a mistake they will send you extra. At least they did for me. Some of fabric seems a little coarser and the colors may not be quite as shown in the catalog or website. Usually a little duller colors. Unlike most of you I have had trouble with some of the thread on my Janome. It seems linty and snarled and broke easily because of slubs in the thread.

I love their fabric. I have ordered many of their lines and find their fabric beautiful. Washes well, cuts well, generous with their cuts and great customer service. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed

If so, would you describe your experience with the fabric.

I have bought some of their charm packs to see how the quality was and was pleased. I then ordered some Batik when it was on sale. I am satisfied with their fabric. My machines, however, do not appreciate the lint from their regular cotton thread.

I have purchased many many times and never been disappointed in their products over the last few years. You can't shop brands so if that's an issue for you then you won't be able to do that. They have their own. I do use Superior Thread...have never tried Connecting Threads' thread. I prefer King Tut on my longarm.

I've bought more thread than fabric, but have been satisfied with both. The thread is a bit more linty, but it is cotton, so you get that with cotton. The fabric is nice, good quality.

I have bought fabric from them and loved it. I will order from them again.

I have purchased several of the kits and have loved all of them The latest, Cabin Windows (9 blocks of different batiks w/black background), was my favorite and has brought me lots of compliments. I'd recommend them 100%.
