All around a great purchase.
May 15, 2023

I am always looking for quality fabric at good prices. I was lucky to find some that I can use for backgrounds or quilt backs at an awesome price in the clearance bin which makes this an absolutely wonderful experience! Thanks!

Fast service in cutting but their shipping partner is slow. When I contacted CT got notice that said delivery is in 8-12 days. DHL had item and was not sending to USPS for delivery very fast. CT needs to find a different shipping partner. There are times when you want item fast and this is slow. Ordered on 17th and it was shipped a day or two later and still DHL doesn't show that it's moving thru the system

Beautiful fabric
July 8, 2023

After I got my quilt top assembled, I realized the backing fabric I had planned to use just wouldn't work. To find a blue - online especially - has been difficult for me, but I found one, ordered it and crossed my fingers. What I ordered turned out to be the perfect match and a beautiful quality fabric. It arrived in approximately a week...I'll order again!

Log cabin under the stars.
September 11, 2023

Kits did not have the required amount of fabric. There was no explanation why the kits were short on fabric. I ordered 2 kits so I could make the quilt larger. Nine fabrics were required, only six were sent in both kits. I paid full price for both kits, so I was disappointed.

Great Fabrics for my Projects
July 7, 2023

I buy a lot of fabrics from CT for my WoW Pillowcases so that I have the perfect colors available when making them! I also make quilts and find the perfect colors or prints from CT to finish them! With the gas prices, I find CT saves me the driving and offers many quality choices that are mailed directly to me. I love their thread and use it on my sewing machine for all my sewing projects.

Slow to ship
August 4, 2023

Ordered my fabric on July 24th. On July 29th received email saying it was shipped. But only the shipping label was created. It took them 8 days to get it to the post office. Today it has been 11 days sine I ordered and I still haven't received it. I will not buy from them again.

Vastly improved
March 4, 2022

I ordered from Connecting Threads for the first time since the 00's. I needed some cheaper blues for a scrappy quilt. Their griege goods used to be quite inferior- scratchy, stiff, didn't wash as well. Imagine my happy suprise upon opening the packaging- the materials they sent me now were just as lovely as the highest quality that I have purchased at my local quilt shop. Very impressed.

Their fabric is not worth the wait when they charge your credit card the day it ships and they continue sending it via postal service that takes two weeks to get from Georgia to Alabama. And they send you an email that they will respond to your concerns - but never get back to you. I am still waiting for second order. First went to wrong address because their shipping label was so faded!

I've ordered from them several times (thread) and have received my orders in a timely manner. Their thread is what I pretty much solely use now - great quality for the price. They have good sales on fabric too and I've not had a problem with anything I've sewn with it. I'll keep ordering from them.

Afraid fabric frays
April 28, 2023

Purchased Entwined quilt kit. Frayed. I thought it was the Americana Collection that frayed. Later I purchased several pieces of yardage from another collection. Those pieces frayed. I truly hope CT resolves the issue. Their color, print, and theme choices are beautiful. It is disheartening to work meticulously on a quilt to see it unravel.

Excellent end of bolt sale
April 28, 2023

Purchased several end of bolt items to use for backings. The fabric is top notch and feels wonderful to the touch at an excellent price, less than chain store discounted fabric but at a far superior quality. Already completed an unfinished project just waited for the sale.

Connecting Threads
April 25, 2023

I have ordered thread and fabric from Connecting Threads. I have been happy with each purchase. The quilting thread is so nice to use and the embroidery thread is gorgeous. Plenty of colors to match every fabric. I love the many fat quarter collections. The cuts are generous and if you are making any baby quilts, the pastels can't be beat. Delivery is fast and everything has been well packaged. One of my top shops for anything I need!

Incorrect fabric color advice
April 29, 2023

I have been very pleased with previous purchases from Connecting Threads, but I recently used the chat feature on the website to see what fabric colors would go with a specific panel that I wanted to purchase. I was given some recommendations, which I then purchased, along with 3 of the panels. There is only 1 piece of fabric out of the 5 recommended fabric colors that go with the panels. Returning the fabrics is a big inconvenience, so I will keep it but I will look elsewhere for coordinating fabrics. Very disappointed that their customer service rep was so wrong on the colors.

Really nice fabric
March 3, 2016

I have been shopping Connecting threads for a few years and always been happy with the quilting cottons I have bought. Their prices are very good and the collections are nice. The website is easy to get around and shipping usually runs within 7 days. None of the fabric I have gotten has faded. The clearance items are great. Customer service will get back within 24 hours.

i ordered 3 times and had nothing but issues: Short yardage, long shipping times, and low quality fabric. i specifically ordered 4 yards of their white fabric that i had started a project with and it was short 1 yard 2" how do you not know how to measure out 4 yards. I certainty was charged for 4 yards. Now I'm wondering if they short yardage on my previous order of white fabric and that's why i ran out, as i should have had plenty.
I had to reorder and the orders take a long time to get shipped. I have another package that i have not opened yet and wondering if that's short also. The white is fraying so bad, I'm hoping that it will hold up for a bit until i make other with quality fabric. I emailed the company yesterday and have not received a response. I will stick with fabric.com instead.
i am not shopping here ever again.

Great products and service
April 28, 2023

I love the fabric I bought from Connecting Threads, and the time that it took from ordering it until it arrived on my doorstep was very fast! They also have a large selection of wide back fabrics. I'll definitely be ordering from them again!

Takes forever to ship then marks item shipped and not really shipped. Took almost 3 weeks to get my order. When you call to confirm order shipped, if not and you want to cancel, claim order is in warehouse and cannot be cancelled. Supposedly has 3 or 4 websites and not enough people to cover their orders. Several orders I placed, I did not receive the item I ordered but someone else's order and had to wait an additional week to get my order -- almost a month. Nice fabric but does not know how to keep up with the business end.

Love Connecting Threads
April 25, 2023

It was easy to find the exact colors I wanted for my projects. Ordering was easy and shipping was in the time frame given. Each fabric received was just as pictured on their website. Have ordered from them for years and will continue to do so.

An item was missing from my order.
