I have been very happy with the fabrics and threads from Connecting Threads. I had a problem with one fabric and contacted them and they happily replaced it and told me to keep the other fabric.

Never used CT but for the record I've found Fabric.com to be a great place to buy material - I've bought a lot from them - and they ship free over $35.00.

I don't order very much on-line. I love to feel the fabrics before I buy and I guess I am too picky when I choose colors!

Where I live there are no shops near me so I online shop a lot. Connecting Threads and Keepsake Quilting are the ones I buy from. CT is the cheapest and have no quality problems with them.

The only thing available to me is Walmart and 2 very high price QS with little variety. I hear we are getting a JoAnn's later this year though. :-) Oh, oh.....

I have never bought from CT. I buy all my Moda fabric from Etsy.com. I love them and have never had a problem with the fabric or the thread. I use Aurifil thread.

CT is the only online store I have bought from. Their fabric has a nice feel and the kits are generous. I use their thread all the time. They ship quickly, I have never had a problem.

I have been buying mostly vintage fabric on eBay. I find the older fabric I've been buying is higher quality than even my local quilt shop's material and I'm getting it a lot cheaper, usually from $3-$6 a yard( and that's including shipping) -heh, and is that a run-on sentence , or what?!

I've bought yardage and thread from CT. The prices were good, the fabric quality was decent or better for batiks. Shipping was fast.
