Just bought Aunt Becky and a Sterling Silver custom fitted thimble for people with long fingernails along with 3 yards of thin batting and good quilting needles. I WILL PRACTICE til I learn how to hand quilt with this method! I hate pricking my finger and it bothers my wrist to "rock" the needle. My daughter started hand quilting a top she made for me then hurt her hands. I want to finish hand quilting it.
