Word of the Day - Use it in a sentence
 

Here's a new amusement to lighten your day and make you sound even smarter than you already are!
I will post a word of the day. You are challenged to use it in a sentence. If you can manage to use it in a quilting related sentence - you will win the admiration of all on the board.

Today's word of the day is Remora (REM-er-uh)

Next ...

It would be so helpful if I had and Echeneididae to keep my fabric from slipping..Diana

Show off!:p

Do wonder where I can find a Echeneididae though LOL..Might make the fabric smell a bit fishy? :D Diana

The Echeneididae fish family is also called a 'Pilot Fish', I'm sure the Remora of this story are the quilters who keep trying to catch one to keep their fabrics from slipping...

:cool:

Great idea Kristyna! I would have used remora so badly, as I guessed definition #1. My remora today was my computer today, as it piloted me over 6 hours to learn to post a picture. Obviously, I still don't have it down right, but I was successful. Now to have some remora for supper. Isn't fish good for the brain? lol m

I will train a remora to hang on to my money, I will keep it in my pocket, then maybe I can keep more of my money for stash!!!!!

I cannot wait until my children make enough money that they don't have to behave as though I were a shark and they were remora....(and those of you who know me, know that is even a play on words with my last name HA!!)

Hummmmmmm - - - -
Many times at the sewing machine I use my knees as a remora to prevent the quilt sandwich from slipping down to the floor.

Arlene, I've often tried to get to Stony Brook from Long Beach but the traffic on the LIE proves to be a terrible remora!

I had one remora after another today, as I wanted to sew on my treadle, so it will wait till next week.

the remora in my eye is keeping me from seeing.

The newly fallen snow caused such a remora in town today. Sadly, I wasn't able to get to the quilt shop for the big sale.

I need a remora to hold onto time. Time always seems to slip through my fingers.

Can not wait to find out what the new word for today is :thumbup:..Diana

My quilting partner's husband has a beautiful leonine head of head, natheless I think my gray-haired sweetie is much better looking.

I failed to adjust the tension on my bobbin thread and ended up with a leonine snarl on the bottom of my quilt. Naytheless, I continued to sew.

I don't really have the time, but naytheless, I shall go look for that leonine lovely!

My material is creeping up like that of a Leonine but natheless, I will over come and be victorious !!! :thumbup: Diana

Krystyna, you should tell us if the word is a noun, adjective or adverb.

Will do. I'll start tomorrow.

Today's word is SLIMSY - adjective - flimsy, frail

I like to pin my seams but sometimes the pins become a remora.

I was sewing along, my mind wandering over multiple thoughts, when WHAM, the needle hit a remora. Wouldn't you know, I had missed taking one pin out of the border of this quilt and didn't I just hit it?

Some of the fabric at the LQS looks slimsy.

Good work, ladies! I think that when you have slimsy fabric, you need a remora to hold it together!

I don't really care where I buy quilting matereial, as long as it isn't SLIMSY.

Never try to sew a slimsy material without having a

I went to high school with Nicky Remora who wore socks in neon colors. (True!) He was far from slimsy, being built like a concrete block.

Fabric is a remora. Do I get the prize for shortest sentence?

No. Sorry. :(

:) Mostly because we have moved onto new words!!!

if i take a quilt to mora, mn. in the a.m., and drive back with another, is that a "re-mora"? that's my slimsy story, and i'm stickin' to it. echeneidedae not!

I appliqued a remora on my quilt.

I'm working on a quilt that has a lot of slimsy material in it, so I have used interfacing on all the fabric to stablize it.

Love it, very cleaver.
