Have never ordered from them bofore now. Just sent in an order for a Fons & Porter Design Wall (60 x 72) for $19.99. Also ordered the Hugs & Kisses quilt kit. Hope I'm not disappointed.

Is this machine thread or hand quilting thread? I was also wondering about the quality of their thread?

Never had a problem with anything I have ordered from them. Quilt kits have very generous amounts of fabric. Thread is very good quality. Like to search their sales - have gotten great "blender" fabrics to use as quilt backs - very reasonable. Service is great - shipping is very quick.

I just received the batiks in a charm pack. It was so cheap I thought I could not resist. I think they are georgous. I bought the oranges and yellows and they are in all ranges of colors from very light to very dark. The fabric feels wonderful and I will be buying some more soon. I was told about 6 years ago about the thread and started buying it then. My Bernina Aurora is very picky and it sews just fine with their thread. I find it to be more linty than some of the more expensive brands but I just clean out the space under the needle every 3 bobbins and then always have to clean out the bobbin area every 6 bobbins used. No matter what thread I use, I clean and oil after 6 bobbins.

I have not bought anything from Connecting Threads, but just a few days ago got my first sales catalog in the mail. I really liked the prices that I saw on cone thread and was wondering which cone thread that you all buy?

I wrote to this board several months ago with the same question and got similar answers. I ordered once, twice, three times and never looked back. I have never been dissapointed.

I buy batiks and thread at Connecting Threads and like them very much.
I'm not wild about their other fabric though.
They have great customer service!!! Nice to do business with.
