I have ordered from them several times and have never been disappointed. I especially like their thread.

I have always been pleased with everything that I order from Connecting Threads. It is not poor quality fabric.

They are much thinner than LQS and therefore, I have a questions as well. I have a Bargello with a Twist class this weekend. We were asked to bring extra fabric from our stash for additional color choices. My extras are from my LQS and all the rest from Connecting Threads - so I have mostly thin and a few heavier pieces. What's going to happen when I put them together. I'm envisioning all kinds of problems. Anyone know?

Fabric is nice enough but shipping takes forever. On my first order it took almost 4 weeks! I thought it was lost in the mail. But I tried them again and it took 3 weeks and a few days.

Has anyone else had a problem with slow shipping?

I have used their thread and a few of their fabrics and have been very happy with both so far, haven't tried the Batiks though.

Threads:
I'm wondering why some of you have a problem with CT's thread, i.e. lint in bobbin area and some love it?
Could it be differences in sewing machines?

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 and my machines love their threads, they do much better than some of the expensive ones I have used. I have some material and am waiting to start the projects.
