Connecting Threads

I have a few preferences when it comes to buying fabric.  I spend a lot of time on making things and want them to last for a while, so I try to buy the best fabrics I can.  Most of the time it comes from the quilt shop, but I have found it is getting more and more expensive!!  Enter....Connecting Threads!  I have made several purchases from them and absolutely LOVE their fabric!!

Their prices are great, they offer free shipping over $50 web orders, and offer pre-cuts with no additional charges for cutting.  I have ordered their thread, too, and it's great to work with!  AND when their fabrics go on sale/clearance, it makes it even better!

They have started carrying a large collection of solids and I wanted to try them out...so I bought a couple of charm packs for less than $2.50 each.  The colors are so pretty and the feel of the cotton is just as nice as Kona.  Normally Kona is around $7.99 a yard, although fabric.com offers them for under $5.50 a yard.  Connecting Threads cotton is priced at $4.96 a yard.


I recently bought 2 solids charm packs, and almost 20 yards of fabric for $53!  I am planning to use these larger cuts of fabric for quilt backings...aren't they great!  Anyway, if you have't tried them out, you should!!


I have some ideas for a pretty quilt top with the solid charms....can't wait to cut into them.!!

{Connecting Threads did not pay me for my endorsement, although I wouldn't turn them down, hehe}

  4. I have been getting their ads for some time now and wondered about them. Thanks for the high recommendation. I was told their prices are lower because they actually manufacture their own fabric so no middleman. I am going to check them out better, thank you!

    I deleted my previous post as it is giving me a weird blogger id and not my google id. Something strange!

  6. I can totally relate! I've been ordering thread from them for a few years now and just recently tried their fabric... some FQ solids and a charm pack. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the fabric is to work with. I used the FQs in a pillow I just finished and now am looking forward to using the charms. I give Connecting Threads two thumbs up for great prices, product and service. I will be ordering again (the shipping deal for non-US residents is $7 for s&h after you spend $50... a huge savings on postage that I appreciate).
