Her answer is on page 2

Love the word - I will definitely be using it!

fankle [ˈfæŋk ə l] Scot dialect. vb (tr) to entangle. n. a tangle; confusion [from fank a coil of rope, from fang, obsolete variant of vang] Used only in the west of Scotland. Be cool. Dinnae get yeself in a fankle.

There's also thread vomit. Aren't we charming!

I've always called it bobbin barf. Another charming expression.

Okay, now I have to ask: What is quilt poop? I think I know what thread turds are but maybe you need to tell me so I am sure we are talking the same thing.

So we have quilt poop, thread turds, thread vomit and bobbin barf. While they all sound absolutely splendid, would love a definition of all of them. They are certainly new to me!
