There is so much to learn when you get into embroidery.  One great place to start is to learn the lingo.  Embroiderers use shortcut terms and lots of them like WSS and FST and we also have some strange terms like bird nest and thread shred!  If you want to learn how to speak embroidery listen in while you are stitching and enjoy the embroidery chit chat.  If you know a newbie to embroidery, share this podcast with them so that they can understand what people are talking about :)
