Check out Jean Brown Aunt Becky tool YouTube videos. I learned a lot from them. I purchased the spoon to do spoon quilting but it is basically the same method as with Aunt Becky's tool. I have a quilt basted and ready to go. I have done quilting on a big frame. I found it awkward to quilt in all directions. I have a 22" Hintenberg frame which I love because it moves in all directions but with the 22" I do find I am stretching. I recently bought the 14" model which you sit on. I'll see how that works out. I do hand baste my quilts using the Sharon Schambler method. Have fun!
