ramona-quilter Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 We should have a glossary page here. The one that got me for so long was DH....that's dear husband, BTW. (BTW = by the way) Frogging is ripping out, ribit, ribit. And HST, that one was easy, half-square triangles. I know there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think we all have favorites that somehow answered all our questions when we were starting out. I sound like an old pro, don't I. :D Old - yes. But pro, no. I just started last fall. My favorite is "The Ultimate Guide to Longarm Machine Quilting by Linda Taylor. It covers How to Use Any Longarm Machine, Techniques, Patterns & Pantographs, Starting a Business and Hiring a Longarm Machine Quilter. I refer back to it often especially when I am stuck or needing inspiration. Of course, I get those ideas here on this forum, too. What books did the rest of you quilters use when you first got started??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Here is a link to a site that will tell you nearly every longarm quilting abbreviation you would want to know. I would suggest copying the list to your computer, as I'm not sure how long George will maintain the page: http://home.earthlink.net/~gglabus/laabbv.htm Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRINCESSTUCK Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks for all the reply's and the George's site is also great to refer to. DH went and bought a trailer to haul his tractor today and I told him to go ahead and get one because I was going to get me a new machine and frame. To make a long story short after being married for 27 years he knows me well enough that he figured out that I already had one on lay-a way. I am in it for the joy at the moment and in 4 1/2 yrs. I may know enough to do it for a little profit and to sell a few but for now it is for fun. I enjoy reading all the pro's and con's of everything. I would love for my daughter just to show a small amount of interest and would want to spend time with me doing something together other than me taking them out to lunch (when they are broke) But for now it will be for me and Mother to enjoy. I buy and she enjoys. But God Love Her she is 70 and spunky as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
