I just found this video and was wondering if you use "Aunt Becky" for your hand quilting

She certainly made it look easy, maybe I will try it again....

I took the class from Jean Brown at the Road to California Quilt Show last January on how to use the Aunt Becky tool.. She is a very nice lady and very patient at explaining how to use it. She is very fast with it, but used to using it, of course. It takes just a bit of practice, but does make it easier to make even stitches without sticking your fingers with a needle. I bought 3 of them from her so if I lost one I would have a back up. I haven't used it much yet, but I do really like it.

I saw Aunt Becky in use on one of the Quilt Show episodes. It seems like a great tool to have. Where does one find it?

I was there too and also took the class. I hope to get the tecnique down soon. I still am using the rocking motion. I have talked with her several times. When I first got home I practiced quite a bit.

I think I am really going to like it too, once I get it down. LOL

I bought one in Paducah but I haven't used it yet. I think I need one of those lap hoops but then another problem arises. Does anyone know where I can buy a lap? Mine disappeared some time ago and I haven't found it since. I thought I saw it the other day when I was laying on my back with my feet in a chair but it's been so long I wasn't sure.

I don't use an additional tool for handquilting, just the needle and my hands! But this method looks interesting...
