Also, I had the same question about thread usage -- why some find it linty while others love it. I haven't used much of it, but what I have used I found to be just as good as any thread that I have used on my machine. No more lint than any other. I wonder why there is such a difference in users??

I have one not so LQS that charges over $15 a yard for batik, and they only go up in price from there. I do like CT batiks - I've ordered only 2, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality. I do not like the heavy and waxy feel of batik (makes it much harder for me to quilt) and I do like the CT ones.
I've ordered a lot of their fabric, and in my opinion its very good for the price! Yes, there are other "name brand" fabrics out there that you can get for just as cheap or cheaper, but I do love some of the fabrics from CT. :)

I was wondering if the batting in the newest catalog is a good price or not?

I buy from them all the time. I had never considered buying the charm packs - you can bet I'm going home tonight to order those! What a GREAT IDEA!.
I've never had a problem nor have I ever been disappointed by anything I've purchased from them.

Just purchased from Connecting Threads, I have never been disappointed. I will not purchase from my LQS, because they will not service my longarm because I bought it used even through the person I purchased it from had it sitting in their shop because she bought a new one from them. When I called to see if they would service it, they told me to call the factory. If they wouldn't service my machine (they advertise service)why should I purchase $10.50 to 15.00 per yard fabric from them or support them.
