Why Are Connecting Threads' Prices So Low--Batiks, Threads--Is it Poor Quality?

I have never been disappointed in their quality of fabrics ever. I usually only buy from them especially thread. And if you have a complaint or problem they take care of it immediately. I rec'd a bad spool of thread they sent out a new one right away and told me to keep the other one. They are always quick to ship too.

I do not care for their quality of batiks. Guess I am a "batik snob" as some have put it! There are so many places online that have them on sale - Fabric Depot just had them 35% off. Also with brand names, you get such a better variety of colors and prints.
I bought a kit from CT recently (not batik) because I loved the fabric choices....but the fraying drove me NUTS.

This ^^^^ is what I do. I purchase a charm pack of each line and all of the colors in their solids, mirage and basics. Then I know what the real color will be when I get it. And it is also great for picking complimentary pieces for a focal fabric. I put a 'header' on the pieces as they come in. The line name, color number and all the other information to locate them easily. I then use double-sided tape and mount them to the info cards. I punch a hole in the corner and group them on rings.
What a great idea. I buy their fat quarters.

As well, every time they go to the store, to church, anywhere, someone has something nice to say about it. Talk about a ringing endorsement! :thumbup:
Here's a pic. Hope this helps.
