Because of my arthritis and very weak control in my hands , I have used the quilting gun since I began quilting (October 2005). The Dritz gun tends to break at the needle point and get jammed quite a lot. I have begun using the June Taylor gun which I like very much as I don't need to have a lot of strength to use it. However, I am having a very hard time trying to find the June Taylor tacks. I will in the future look at a gun that Avery Dennison has if I can find a local dealer for it.
