Reminds me too how confusing this language can be to new quilters, as well as board messages when people use so many acronyms for what they really want to say. I can't tell you how long it took me to figure out that ISO was "in search of." Happy to know that I am now enlightened. I've been wondering for quite a while but embarassed to ask. Now I think of what I usually tell others. "you'll never know the answer if you don't ask the question." LOL |
I had a similar funny when I started quilting. I was trying to study a pattern I bought for my first quilt. It said I needed to make "half square triangles". I could not figure out how to cut a 1/2 square (a rectangle) and make it a triangle. Duh! :oops:

Thanks for the chuckle. It reminded me of the first time I used a machine - long long time ago. My mom laughed so hard when I was sitting there yelling STOP! STOP! at the top of my lungs with arms waving wildly overhead. At the same time, I was pedal to the metal on the machine and whatever I was trying to sew was running under the needle without any help. lol (Pheeeew, we've both come a long way, huh?)

Yes it gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for brighten up my day. It is cold and dreary here today.

Big chuckle and still smiling. :)

I too have difficulty, if it is a solid, I never know what is the front and the back, I quit trying I just do one, hopefully it is correct if not, who cares. Is there a feel or what to know the back from the front on solids?
|
I just Love this story my DIL believe it or was lost with the same partas you.
|
That is way too funny. Pretty neat to look back when we started and realize all we have learned.

Thanks for the chuckle, I needed one. My husband said he could understand why you would be puzzled being new to sewing. Glad you stuck with it.
