What is a "flimsy"??
I've seen a couple of posts that mentioned "flimsy" or "flimsies"
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 agree with you. When someone says "flimsy" or "flimsies" I think of something that is about to fall apart. In the case of fabric I think that it's too thin to really work well or something that won't last long. Will be watching to see what other people say. Thanks for posting and asking the question.

I'm aussie and have never heard of flimsy for a quilt top. We often do call the batting 'wadding' and we also call our pieced tops patchwork and then we do the quilting to join the three layers together

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.
