Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. We had Lisa Shaw from Sew Bubbles scheduled for the program, but due to technical difficulties, Erich Campbell stepped in and answered our Embroidery Lingo questions for us. Lisa still provided great insight in the comments section so we are excited to have her back soon to go deeper into this topic.

We demystify that on this episode.
