I have been very pleased with it...for the price...but nothing beats the name brands...for quality...

So far what I've bought and used of CT fabrics is OK for the price, but not what I'd call LQS quality. They have a lot of fun novelty prints, and the fabric is very affordable, but my current opinion based on the Birchtree Lane, Around Town, and Bits and Bobbins lines is "just ok, nothing to rave about, decent quality for the price".

i find their fabric to be to thin.

i would use their fabric for backing on a wallhanging but nothing else.

I have a great deeal of it from their year end clearance. I love it. The factory seconds are great for backing ad I believe it is $1.48 a yard right now. I lost my mind but I could not help it and is waiting for the next HUGE clearance. Not the itty bitty 20%-30% sales they are having right now. Believe me....they have even better ones than that around December-January time frame. lol.

z and s fabrics is having 50% off everything on their site and is it is name brand fabric. The rented mule quilt is having 25% off everything.

I personally like connecting threads fabric for the most part (got some layer cakes and jelly roll strip - but I am spoiled to Moda and was a little disappointed but still used them), but if I already had name brand fabric for the rest of the quilt, I'd probably get more of the name brand. That's my personal opinion only.

I have purchased fabric from Connecting threads several times and have been completely satisfied with the quality.

I love their fabrics...but I would agree with the lady who said maybe buy a small piece first, just to see what it is like before buying a bunch!

I have purchased LOTS of fabric from them and am quite happy with all of it. The time it takes from when I order to when I get the package is about 7-10 days, which is a bit long for me. But then again, maybe I'm just impatient.
