Seam allowance: Amount of fabric extending from the seam line to the raw edge usually from 1/4 – 5/8 inch.

Seam line: line along which a seam is stitched.

Seam ripper: Tool used to removed stitches with little damage to fabric.

Selvadges: The warp (long) edges of the fabric, finished and usually thicker than the rest of the fabric. Cut off when being pieced into a quilt.

Sharps: Small, thin needles with a very sharp tip or point.

Stash: A supply of fabric and notions used for quilting (and other sewing projects). Usually squirreled away in every conceivable nook and cranny in the house, garage, neighbor’s attic, etc.

Stitch in the ditch: A method of quilting where you sew your stitches in the “ditch” created by the joins of the pattern pieces. Your quilting pattern will be that of your block pattern. Compare with outline quilting.
I NEED MORE PRACTICE, BUT HERE IS AN EXAMPLE

Strength: Some fibers are very strong, such as nylon and polyester. Others are weak, such as acetate and acrylic.

Strip-piecing: A time-saving method of cutting strips of fabric instead of individual shapes, and piecing the strips before cutting adjoining smaller block pieces from it.
