I buy from Connecting Threads all the time. At first I bought about 3 or 4 sets of samplers, 10 inch squares, just so I could see the real colors and feel the material. So far I've never been disappointed. I'll probably make a big star quilt with the squares.
I also buy from Marshall Dry Goods, they are the cheapest in price. I also buy from Carolina Cotton, Prices about the same as Connecting Threads.
I set up a checking account just for ordering materials, ebay, etc. I don't keep any money it that account unless I'm ordering something. Much easier and faster than Pay Pal.

I love connecting threads fabric. It's true it does seem to unravel easier than LQS fabric but it's nice and thick and not see through like some Walmart fabric I've had. I have also gotten great deals from fabric.com I will check out Marshall Dry Goods and Carolina Cotton. I have never heard of those but I'm excited now

I bought a kit from CT. The fabrics were grand but the instructions were awful. I made another one afterwards and used my own common sense for the construction and it turned out fine. Measurements were okay, just poor instructions. I would try it again for something special. Their customer service can't be beat.

P.S. I've heard a lot about Connecting Threads thread is linty. I think it is, also, but I still buy it when it's on sale! Haven't tried the higher priced thread companies...afraid I'm going to like them better then get motivated to buy it spending more $ than I should.
