Where can Aunt Becky be purchased? I have never seen one, at least not that I know of. Video was helpful to watch.

I used one for years when I did hand quilting. I liked it and the learning curve is small. You will like your small, even stitches.

I bought one and tried it a couple of times, but I have a couple of issues with my hands so I gave it up. I think I sold it. I did like it when I used it.

I have used one for years and love it. Saves my poor fingers below the surface and helps keeps my stitches somewhat consistent. If I did more hand quilting, I could improve, but I would rather be piecing another quilt.

I use those sticky things and false nails, they both work great.

Have one but I don't really care for it. Couldn't get my stitches as small as I like to make them.

I've used one since I first learned to hand quilt. I don't use it exactly the same as Jean Brown does but It doesn't matter. I just like how the needle skims off the Aunt Becky instead of my finger!

I've tried other methods but my stitches are smaller and nicer looking when I use Aunt Becky.

I quilt "towards" myself, with a rimmed thimble on my top hand, if that makes any difference.
