Re: Connecting Threads fabric
Thanks for the responses. I was looking at their robot fabric, Mastermind, and thought it would be a fun project for a 5 year old boy. I don't care much for JoAnn's fabric unless it's muslin, so I may just give this a try. That, or Mechanical Genius from Timeless Treasures. After the last problem I had from a longarmer friend, I learned how improtant it is to get quality fabric because when I had all the stitches taken out and redone, you couldn't even tell where the old quilting was done.
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
I order from them all the time. I do find their cheaper fabrics will fray very easily but if you are careful and run a zig zag first there's no problem. The better fabrics and the batiks are great. Love their threads too!!
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
I'm all for CT too - nice quality - never had any problem with running colors, cheap looking weave or excesive fraying. Somatimes I buy designer fabric from a LQS too, but then I'm almost afraid to cut into it
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
I have never purchased at CT. I think they have great prices though. I had purchased some fabric from another quilter and she had thrown in 2 - 1/4 yrd cuts of 2 different fabrics and when I looked at the selvege, I noted that it was CT. The 2 pieces I have have a wonderful weight and hand to them. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them in the future (like I need to order more fabric!)
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
I haven't had any problems with their fabric that I used with Heather's and Project Linus quilts. The weight is good and the fabrics feel soft.
The thread works great in my Brother Isadore, Husq. Lily and my Singer. :)
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
hot dog! Another project in the works! I may try their thread as well.
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
I order from them all the time..fabric, charm pks, jelly roll strips, etc..and I love the Essential Pro Thread..they are fast with great shipping..customer service is great. Not M*Q but they will do in a pinch. :)
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
i order all the time from them i have gotten many kits and finished them they always send more then what it calls for in the amount in the kits. and i have extra for other stuff. i still have some leftover fabric i just finished a kit of their scrappy stars quilt and love it.
Re: Connecting Threads fabric
Kelly, good to know because I saw a kit with the material I want to use and always heard kits in general don't give enough material for those oops we can make at times.
