    Default Acronyms

    I feel pretty dumb, but some of the acronyms are confusing. Is there a list somewhere?

    There are several lists if you use the search feature.

    Don't worry, I think we all went through the "what the heck?" moment at one time or other.

    Don't feel dumb at all. I don't know many at all either.

    Here is a list I found:

    We've had a few threads about them too....some enlightening and some down right hysterical.

    Here is the short list I could think of on the fly:


    FMQ - free motion quilting
    WIP - work in progress
    PIGS - project in grocery sacks.

    Then of course, for fun, someone mentioned the whipped pigs and we kinda digressed from there.

    D9P - Disappearing 9 Patch
    OBW - One block wonder, like those kaleidescope blocks.


    Those are the ones I can think of for now. Hope this helps.
