Thanks ... and hope it helps.

And please don't feel lost or let the lingo intimidate you ... just ask!
Quilters are always glad to help out.
Not to worry ... I still scratch my head on some of the jargon!! :)

Thank you so much QuiltE as many others have said I too am new to this forum... I was so lost while reading some of the post... and just when I was going to ask how to save or print the list you answered that question also... I love this site it has already helped me out so much...

I'll echo your appreciations of this site.
While I'm a little further down the road than you, I truly can say I've learned a LOT.
The best part are the many great friends I have made as the bonus to it all!

TOL and TOTL were mentioned in a thread in Main. What are they?

TOL and TOTL = Top Of The Line

These two will be on the updated list, when it is posted.

Thanks for the list!

I really appreciate your putting all these in one place and some of them really make me laugh! :-)
Some of my favorites...FABRIHOLIC, SABLE, SEX and WIVSP...I have tons of those!

thank you that is great

As a newbie, this is so helpful! I spent the last 20 minutes to to figure out what LQS meant- thought it was a type of block. Not realizing that it meant " local quilt shop" !LOL

Thanks for posting!

thanks a million for the list. Now I won't feel left out of the loop

Love, Love, Love, this list. I am not lost anymore.

Can we add SO (signifiant other) to the list?

No reason, why not as it makes total sense

IMNSHO is 'in my not so humble opinion'. ;) I remember that one stumping me for quite a while! :D

Thanks for the extensive list! I was dying to ask what DH meant. Now I know! :)

Happy that it has helped you! :)

Wow! So much I do not know. :)

Thanks for posting it. Printing me off a copy now.

Thank you so much for putting that list together. Please know that your work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the compiled list - - this information is very helpful to a newbie!

Thanks! I have been off the board for awhile, and I needed to be reminded! I hope everyone has had a wonderful, and blessed weekend!

I agree with all the wonderful comments about this list and the thanks to you for putting it together! Wish I had opened it sooner. Thank you.

Wish I would of seen this before I asked someone what a HST was? Thanks for putting together such a great list.

Is there a set number of pieces in a layer cake or jellyroll or other set cuts of fabric???:shock:

I believe it used to be 40 ... but now there seems to be no set number.

It's best to read what the packaging says in order to know for sure. Or if ordering online, confirm in advance, so you will not have any surprises.

thanksyou and I hope too there is not a test http://watchfree.me/20/w.png

Thank you so much for these great lists, I have been reading posts and wondering what some of the abbreviations were.

Glad that they are helping you thru the Alphabet Soup Maze! :)

Geez!!! If I took time to learn all these terms, where would I find time to quilt? lol

Alphabet Soup for sure! I'd say that it's a very filling gumbo! :D Thanks for the dictionary. I belong to CCQG. Great bunch of ladies....and a couple guys! The guys don't come to our meetings, but they quilt and keep us up on what's happening out & about. I've been in the guild less than a year, but I'm liking it a lot. Great How-to demos.

TTFN = Ta Ta For Now

but, what is

TOGA

?

One I think I coined --

PIBB Project in bin/basket or box

Mamam...I too belong to the CCQG but mine is in Idaho. Caribou County...:-) Hope your Guild is as great as mine. We have tons of fun. Did we get an answer for TOGA yet? I am stumped, too.

Found it... teehee!

QuiltE thank you so much for posting this, as a newbie, I was always trying to figure out what some of these were when I seen them in posts. This will help me a lot THANK YOU Rachel

You're Welcome, Shararene .... I was somewhat lost in space when I first came to the QB, with all the alphabet soup talk! Glad this helped you feel a little more at home ... Welcome to the Boards! It's a wonderful place to be!

Can someone tell me how to go about printing these Acronyms? I've been trying to figure it out.

AnnEliz .... there are three ways to print it out ...
1. Cut and paste as you would in most programs from this over to your word processing program. By doing this, you could print it as is and/or save it as file to your system.

OR
2. Towards the right of this page, just above where the first post shows, you will see Thread Tools. Click for the drop down menu. Click on Show Printable Version. This will eliminate a lot of the extra stuff that you see on your monitor. You can then print it as is ... or could cut and paste as mentioned above.

Hope this helps!
