I have ordered many times from Connecting Threads. They are wonderful to work with and will take back fabric if you don't like it. You can ask them for samples of what you like. Call them and they will gladly work with you on you specific needs. No worries from this company ever.

They have a good range of colors and patterns.
I give them an A+++ :thumbup: :thumbup:

on their website, which does say they use International manufacturers. Sorry....I didn't know they changed that tradition of all USA. It does appear that they select their overseas manufacturers carefully for ethical work standards.
Candace, are you angry at them about something? Your comments are really sharp! Not like your usual happy self. Sorry if you had some bad experience with them, but it appears that the good experiences with them are about 10 to 1 on here.

i don't care for their fabric. its not LQS quality, its extremely thin.
in regards to the USA thing, i've heard from fabric manufacturers that they had to remove these statements because the cotton wasn't grown in the USA but some of the USA territories.
the option was to list the USA territories or to remove all statements - i guess they chose to remove the statement or are in the process of disclosing the USA territories.
