what? another new word!! that is like spiders, meaning leaders of fabric scraps going under the needle before your fabric. i'm too old for any more new words. it's hard enough learning as it is.

When I use the word "flimsy" - it usually means light or thin fabric - but that doesn't seem to be the context in which the words have been used |

I never heard the term "spiders". What an idiot I would be if it weren't for this board!!!!
Plus, somebody said she's too old to learn new words? We're never too old to learn. Even sm. things. That's what makes life exciting. |
That could be, but in what geographic area? Quick, someone from that area confess. froggyintexas

I think it's a geographic thing in the US. In some locations, they call an unquilted top a flimsy.

I have seen the word 'flimsy' used on various blogs but don't recognise it as a British term! We certainly refer to 'batting' as wadding tho!! You know what they say...." Divided by a common language" !!!!:)

ghquilter53.. You make an excellent point. "What an idiot I would be if it weren't for this board!!!! Me too!!
|
From the contexts of those posts - I'm guessing that they are just a pieced quilt top?
|
I guess I could have used the word pieced in my first post ;-)
|
You all crack me up!!! LOL
but I too must admit that I have never hear of it in quilting before and some of the other things mentioned in the responses are also new to me. Glad to learn new things even if it sounds silly, brings a smile to my face and that's worth more then anything else. I love you guys!!! |
