bump up the front--bumpy side faces quilt top
baggy bottom---bigger quilt block when matching seams goes on the bottom
What else???!!
It would be fun to be able to have a list of helpers.

Baggy bottom is an easy term to remember for easing in extra fabric. The feed dogs help ease in extra fabric to match a smaller top. I believe the bumpy top term applies to some quilt batts. I use 80/20 quilt batt that doesn't have a right or wrong side.

Hold your tails - hold the sewing machine threads in the back when starting a new seam. Helps to prevent your machine from 'eating' the fabric, and also keeps you from getting a bird's nest on the bottom at the beginning of the seam. Only necessary once if you are chain piecing.
