My daughter picked out some fabric for the back of her Quilt(One Block Wonder) that is finished and ready to be quilted. This fabric is so bad quality, I stopped pressing it and I am not going to use it. It is the worst I have seen. $30.00 for 5 and 1/2 yrds. I cut it and sewed two 74 inch pieces together and was pressing and starching. I spent so many hours on the quilt top and decided, No Way). I don't know why I was not more carefull when we picked it out. I ordered something else from Connecting Threads. first time I got junk from Joanns.

I agree I avoid any thing that has Spring in the selvage. There was a time they (Spring) used a better griege goods( base fabric) , but I find the stuff now is some of the thinnest I have ever seen.

A lot of the Spring fabrics are cotton/polyester mix as well.

Connecting threads is very similar quality to Joannes IMO.

Thanks for the info on the "spring" fabric.

I've ordered from CT for almost 2 years and I love them. They have been VERY helpful and have always addressed any issue I've had.

When I'm getting ready to invest (like 15 yards of a fabric for a project) I order a FQ of the selection of fabrics I'm considering from CT. That way I can "feel" them and see them. Then I order. I can always use FQ for a stash builder.

I have some older Spring or Springs fabrics - and they are - in my opinion - very usable.

Has the quality changed over the years?
