Thanks everyone!! I'm so happy to be quilting again! I hope I get the hang of using Aunt Becky. I just can't seem to do it like Ms. Jean in the video. That causes me to stress the needle and make my hand cramp, staying in that "tripod" position. I'd rather rock it. But I have been practicing using it instead of my left thumb under the quilt and quilting my normal way with my right hand and it works (I just need more practice). Now if I could figure out how to stop abusing my right thumb!!
Oh, and I don't think I'm holding it the way you're supposed to hold it, either. I found it's easier for me to use by putting it over my knuckle and kind of making a loose fist under the quilt, but I still have to "catch" the needle when it comes up.
