Corinney asked a good question, that I would like to add a question to....

Is there a list somewhere for us newbies as to what all the abbreviations we see for embroidery might be?

Good question and I hope someone tags this post for future reference. It took almost a year for me to know what ttt meant. I'm mean... did you really have to know when someone was heading to the bathroom. hehehe...

No there isn't one. Maybe some should make one. Most ones used
PM = Privat Message
DBC = Designs by Cuties
FSL = Free Standing Lace
DH = Dear Husband
ITH = in the hoop
that's all I can think of right now. I am sure others will add.
