Sorry you had trouble find Aunt Becky. I had a totally different experience. I took my (one and only) hand quilting class at JanniLou's in Philomath, Oregon. Aunt Becky was a requirement, and that's all we used in the class. (We also experimented with a number of different thimbles, but no one thimble was recommended or required.) I may be wrong, because the class was several years ago, but I recall hearing from Jan (one of the owners of JanniLou's and the teacher for this class) that JanniLou's purchased the rights to Aunt Becky from the lady who invented it, and that they are now the distributors for the product. I'll bring their attention to this topic and ask if that's the case next time I go in. Philomath is close enough for classes, but not close enough that I get to JanniLou's every week, which is too bad because JanniLou's is one of my alltime favorite quilt stores. I don't think they sell online.
