| Word | Description |
| Yo-yo | fabric that is gathered into a circle and can be used for quilt tops or embellishments. Typically a circle of fabric is cut, and then a running stitch is sewn approximately 1/4 inch away from the outside of the circle. The stitch is pulled tight and knotted, which causes the circle to fold over on itself to create a puffy circle. Often the raw edge is folded under so that the center of the gathered side is finished. |
