While some of the fabric is thin, others are still good quality. I buy from them all the time, and am very pleased. I have bought a few kits from them, and there is always fabric left over.
The thread is wonderful. It doesn't hold a stick to the other threads in my book. Will usually buy when they are on sale, love them!

I don't know why and I do NOT care, just happy that they are. I think I have been using their threads about 8 yrs and LOVE them for piecing and quilting but only use Superior Bottom Line thread in the bobbin.
I've gotten quite a bit of the batiks, even better price from the 'clearance' section and so so happy with them. Because they DO cost less, my stash has more batiks.

I don't find their threads to be 'linty', maybe cuz I only use it for top thread. I only use Superior Bottom Line threads in the bobbin, which lasts a long time cuz it is thinner and not linty either.
People seem to forget that fabric is a major lint contributor. When I see lint in my bobbin area, it is always the color of the fabric I'm using.

I would like to buy some of the thread and some batiks and a quilt kit but don't want quality that is less than very good.
What is your experience with Connecting Threads products??
