Sewing terminology resource? I thought we had a listing here

I know a good basic sewing book would be great, but I have a hunch someone here knows of a good website where one can learn the difference between interfacing and interlining and the bobbin race from the feed dogs. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

You can find it at Amazon, eBay and some book stores. Another possibility is Simplicity's Simply The Best Sewing Book. This one you can usually find where fabric is sold. ------ “I don’t give them Hell, I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s Hell.” — Harry Truman

Check a few sewing references out of your local library before you purchase. Different people prefer different formats: photos vs. drawn illustrations, for example. Everyone's learning style is a bit different, so you want to choose a book that appeals to your personal learning style. In the meantime, some online sewing term resources that may prove useful: Sewing Dictionary, sewingpatterns.com Glossary of Sewing Terms (PDF), Texas Cooperative Extension The Sewing Dictionary SEW-lutiions Guidelines - multiple short articles/tutorials at sewing.org. Wikipedia Glossary of Sewing Terms CMC

I was hoping to finally lure him (yes, it is a male sewing friend. Rare bird, but hoping he might join our "flock") to PR. I have hinted a lot and suggested a lot. Hope he drops in and finds out what a great resource we have here. And nice people too, of course. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
