I am sorry but my connecting threads catalog it says that their batiks are hand dyed on USA cotton by artists in java, Indonesia. So not all of their products are made in America.

In my opinion if the whole process isn't done in the USA then you can't say it is made in the USA. Sorry but that is just my opinion. Hope I didn't insult anybody.

Connecting threads is not made in the USA.
The only thing they say is made in the US is the cotton is from the US. Most of the cotton produced in the world is from the US I believe.
On their web site they use to say that it was made (manufactured) in North America. That could be the US, Canada or Mexico. Most likely Mexico.
Since it no longer says that I think they have moved manufacturing to other places
Since Spring (at least when I noticed) they no longer state that their fabric is made in North America.
The only thing coming form the US is the cotton.
In my opinion that should not diminish them as a fabric supplier so long as they do not support 3 world conditions at their factories
this is from their web site
Its still great fabric
