I signed up for the newsletter of a different LQS which is really close to my work and Jean Brown is teaching an Aunt Becky techniques class on the 16th. I talked with Pat and he thinks I need to sign up. He's right because I have a small quilt that his great-gran did and it NEEDS to be hand-quilted. So it looks like I get to at least practice with Aunt Becky the correct way.

I would need the REAL Aunt Becky to be at my house to be able to hand quilt. I give you hand quilters credit, my stitches only look good when hidden under the fabric. I made one lap quilt completely by hand, even bought the aunt Becky but was not happy with my stitches so I tacked down the quilt at points when I could hide the threads. Turned out great, but still can't hand quilt.
