Have a page that gives definitions for different abbreviations I see on here. Finally got them figured out for a chicken message board I'm on, now I need to learn a whole new set :shock: Be gentle, I'm a newbie

Welcome from Oregon

I forget sometimes when talking to customers that they have no idea what FMQ means or Hst...LOL OMG! Thats to much time on the QB!

Thanks ya'll I'll check it out. Heck I may even print it out!

Not for nothing, but if you do a Google search (white space in the upper right corner of your browese) on any acronym you come across here, plus the word quilt, I can pretty much guarantee the answer will be somewhere on the first page of results.

So "FMQ quilt" will get you this page

And there's the answer midway down the page.

Thank you. Those are 2 of my girls. Icee the one on the bed was "laughing" at Katie because she stole her toy. Both of them are deaf, Icee is also 90% blind.

Welcome! Once you get the abbreviations down pat, you will find that this is a great place, full of wonderful quilters who are full of wonderful advice! This board is almost as addictive as facebook. One must be careful on here tho, full of enablers! LOL
