    Aunt Becky is a thimble like device used for hand quilting... it is used in tandom with a different method of "rocking the needle" :D:D:D

    I just ordered one from her. I hope it works as easy and good for me as it does for her!

    You can buy Aunt Becky in some of the LQS but I have not seen the recessed thimble there.

    Please let us know how well it works out for you. I watched the video and am a handquilter(just a novice), but would appreciate all the help I can get to make the process faster. I have so many UfO's that need to be quilted.
