    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.

    There fabrics are as good a quality as any of the fabric stores. I really like their thread & order a lot of it as the colors are so nice & the quality of the thread is very good.

    Mine have always come rather quickly. I don't think that I have ever waited more than 5 days for the order to arrive.

    Also, I had the same question about thread usage -- why some find it linty while others love it. I haven't used much of it, but what I have used I found to be just as good as any thread that I have used on my machine. No more lint than any other. I wonder why there is such a difference in users??

    I have one not so LQS that charges over $15 a yard for batik, and they only go up in price from there. I do like CT batiks - I've ordered only 2, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality. I do not like the heavy and waxy feel of batik (makes it much harder for me to quilt) and I do like the CT ones.

    I've ordered a lot of their fabric, and in my opinion its very good for the price! Yes, there are other "name brand" fabrics out there that you can get for just as cheap or cheaper, but I do love some of the fabrics from CT. :)

    Me too and the newest catalog is so tempting. I've bought their batiks and they are fine I think. I also get all my thread from them when they have sales.

    I was wondering if the batting in the newest catalog is a good price or not?

    I buy from them all the time. I had never considered buying the charm packs - you can bet I'm going home tonight to order those! What a GREAT IDEA!.

    I've never had a problem nor have I ever been disappointed by anything I've purchased from them.

    Just purchased from Connecting Threads, I have never been disappointed. I will not purchase from my LQS, because they will not service my longarm because I bought it used even through the person I purchased it from had it sitting in their shop because she bought a new one from them. When I called to see if they would service it, they told me to call the factory. If they wouldn't service my machine (they advertise service)why should I purchase $10.50 to 15.00 per yard fabric from them or support them.
