Terminology

This page includes a glossary of terms that are used on FreeSewing.org.

NOTE
The purpose of this glossary

To avoid having to explain what (for example) edgestitching means each time we use it, we maintain a central list of terminology (jargon) with a link to its documentation.

How to use this glossary

We also make it easy for documentation authors to include definitions for glossary terms they use by merely emphasising the term, like this: .

For more details, refer to our Markdown guide on FreeSewing.dev.
