I like both Whittles and Connecting threads but I haven't ordered from either yet. They both seem to be in the same price range. Anyone on here order from both and if so, does one seem to carry better fabric than the other?

connecting threads sells only their own brand of fabric. it's quite nice for the price. it compares very well to fabs that routinely sell for several more dollars per yard. :thumbup:
whittles sells many brands of fabric, so whether or not you are pleased with your purchase will depend on whether or not you are pleased with the brand(s) you bought.
they both provide excellent customer service.

I have ordered from CT many times, always happy. Many 1/2 price kits of which I have made only one and it had plenty of fabric. I am saving the others for when I retire (HAHA). I have never heard of Whittles either but will def check them out.

I have ordered from Connecting Threads several times. Love their fabric and they have great sales on all kinds of things. Right now all books are on sale for 40% off.
I have not heard of Whittles before.

I've shopped from both and love them!
Whittles carries high quality quilt shop fabric such as Moda, RJR, etc.. They have wonderful prices and a huge inventory.
Connecting Threads carries their own line of fabric. While not LQS quality it is far and above anything you'll find at Walmart, Joann's or Hancocks. I also love their thread and it is price really low.
So, that's my two cents worth! :thumbup:

I order the fat quarter samplers of the new lines as soon as they are out from Connecting Threads. I can see which ones I really like the best to buy yardage. CT fabric has stood the test of time for me in wear and tear.
The samplers make great secret pal gifts, already in a shipping box, and in perfect order. :-)
