My experience with Connecting Threads has been positive. I have never received anything from them that I wouldn't consider good quality, fabric and thread. And their deliveries have always been within just a few days of the order. No complaints here.

I absolutely love Over the Rainbow FAbrics. The woman is delightful, helpful and does the very best ever on shipping prices. I shop the fabric I like at the LQS and can usually get something from Laura for 2-3 dollars a yard less.

I have not used their thread and am just wondering. I have a Baby Lock and have a lot of lint from all my threads used (name brand, "good" quality).
I have the Baby Lock Quest. I have no problems with their thread. I brush the bobbin area out after it runs out of thread each time with any thread I am using.

I have learned to clean and oil after each bobbin fill, it seems to make the machine run much better and besides a person does not forget to clean out once in a while if you do it at every bobbin change :roll: :lol: :-P

I really like both the thread and the material. I've bought a bit of both and haven't been disappointed yet. I love to shop the fabric sale especially. Give them a try..you won't be disappointed! I especially like the thread...there's virtual no lint!

I do this too. Like Campbell 34, do you oil the machine? I have no idea WHERE to do this!
