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?

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.
