Hi,all. I am a newbie and can't figure out some of the abreviations in the posts. I get the HSQ and QST, but some of the others have me confused.Can someone tell me what some others mean? Thanks

I know sometimes it is confusing to me and I have been a member for a couple of years now.

Thanks, but those two I figured out.Sometimes there are other abreviations in posts, those I don't get.

Use the Search feature at the top of the page and look for acronyms. There are a number of links to choose from. They should help you decipher this "quilter's" language you've encountered. :-)

It's okay to ask.

I think different cultures/regions/occupations have different abbreviations for things.

Or the same abbreviation means different things to different folks.

SOB on a medical patient's chart means "shortness of breath"

I've heard it also has other meanings. 8-)
