I've decided to purchase TJ's quick quilter. I'll let you know how I get on. I think it might be a bit of a learning curve.

I have a hand disability and loved the Aunt Becky way of quilting. I just don't do it anymore. It was easy to use once you get the hang of it.

I have both and I have tried both. Aunt Beckys does not work for me, my needle slips off of it so fast that I get huge stitches. T. J.s does work well, but even better for me is an old spoon that my DH cut part of the handle off of. I wanted to try T.J.s but I have tried so many things that didn't work that I decided to make my own first rather than spend the money and have it not work. When my own spoon did work, I decided to buy the T.J. one, I figured it would work even better since it was designed for quilting, but to my surprise, I like my spoon better. I use it like Jean Brown uses Aunt Becky, the same motion, and it is great, really saves my fingers. I am not near as fast, maybe someday.

I have to practice more with my Aunt Becky too. I loved the class. But right now I am hand quilting a batik front and back, no chance for using the Aunt Becky. I can only take two to 3 stitches on the needle at a time. Can't wait until I am done with this one. :lol: :shock: :roll:

Hi--I'm new to this board. Re: TJS Quick Quilter (the spoon method) Googlel TJ"S quick quilter and you can find the tool and DVD of the method. If you're a member of Quilter's Club of America, they have a video of the use of the tool. Hope this helps.
