Aunt Becky
#1
How many of you hand quilters use an Aunt Becky?
I bought one several years ago and every so often I get it out and really try hard to use it, but so far haven't been able to get the hang of it. I am DETERMINED to master it! Any helpful tips would really be appreciated. I know your quilt has to be loose in the hoop and I have watched several tutorials but haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

I've got an Aunt Becky and have really, I have to admit, never really took the time to master it. I have found that I would rather quilt without a hoop and one of these days I'll try using it without a hoop.......(I'm telling myself good luck with that one....lol).

this is what I love about this site; you learn so many new things. I have never heard of this before so I googled it. Here is a link to what I found w/a video

We've had tons of conversations about this so will post a link to that search too.

I still have mine, but don't use it much, I can do straight lines with it but curves are another story, and I did double hearts the last large quilt so didn't use it.
