    Today in my quilt class I heard the term "Froggin" for the first time. I am new at quilting so don't have all of the terminology yet.

    Well, surprise to me, I found out I am an expert as the term means ripping out and resewing which I have had extensive practice.

    At least I am good at something. :) :) :)

    Well, what do you know?! I've never heard of it either and now I'm beginning to understand what my grammar teacher meant. Read, thick head, read, one day you'll learn something and today, I DID! Thank you for that. I'm adding it to my list of acronyms, and links.

    I had never heard that term either. I use many other terms for ripping and resewing, but most can't be repeated in polite company.

    I have heard it used when talking about crocheting but never heard it used when talking about quilting.
