Now that was dumb

I made my son and his wife an anniversity quilt for their 10th. Daughter in law told me she felt something sticking her from the quilt!! Since I pin base I must have left a pin between the layers. Thank goodness it was a safty pin and as long as she can keep it closed it will be fine. Since they live in Florida and I'm in Maryland I can't (wish I could) just go down and fix it for her. But from now on I watch carefully where I place all my pins while basting! Especially when most of my quilts are gifts! LOL

But sure had a time picking out the stitches and getting the darn thing off the back of my quilt.

I'm at a loss to understand a lot of the shorthand "initials" used on the board (FMQ, LQS, etc).
Has anyone compiled a translation list of some kind that can be reproduced here? Subject matter helps decypher some, but other times I'm just stumped.
Thanks

I feel your pain! I have stitched my little cutting mat (2"x6") to my blocks several times while paper piecing. Not to mention scraps, blocks, etc. Frustrating and kind of interesting the things that can be picked up with fabric, but that's the hazard of a slick surface with "stuff" around!
