I learned these terms recently also. Glad I am not the only one they were new to.

This is about which side of the batting goes to the quilt top and which goes to the bottom. I'm not sure it really makes any difference, but yield to those who do. froggyintexasOriginally Posted by juneayerza
It's nice to have a clever phrase to help remember. I don't know how many times I've researched which side of the batting goes up - hopefully now I will remember.
Baggy bottom is an easy term to remember for easing in extra fabric. The feed dogs help ease in extra fabric to match a smaller top. I believe the bumpy top term applies to some quilt batts. I use 80/20 quilt batt that doesn't have a right or wrong side.
Hold your tails - hold the sewing machine threads in the back when starting a new seam. Helps to prevent your machine from 'eating' the fabric, and also keeps you from getting a bird's nest on the bottom at the beginning of the seam. Only necessary once if you are chain piecing.
I never have heard of the first but knew about the second. Not sure if there are any more out there. Maybe an old carpenter's saying of Measure Twice Cut Once??
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
If you have an old singer machine like a featherweight one term is NFL, needle flat left and it threads right to left.
