Any Aunt Becky's Finger Protector users here?
 

I just bought one of these tools and was wondering if anyone here is using it. I think it might take a little practice to get comfortable with but possible. I was hoping for maybe some helpful insight to help me along this practicing.

Yes, just recd one too, but won't use til winter....too nice outside to think of sitting and handquilting.....

I agree with that, however in the early mornings when my new grandson is sleeping I thought I would try doing some hand quilting.

I did use one a few years ago when I was doing a lot of hand quilting and I really liked it. It saved on my poor finger that I used on the underside of the quilt. There is a learning curve when I first used it but I didn't get frustrated so the learning curve must have been short. I don't have the time to do as much hand quilting now but I will be keeping the tool for future projects. Good luck & let us know if you like it.

Sorry, never heard of them.

Just what little I did with it last night I already like it. Just need to work on making a little more consistent size stitches and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly. Sometimes little adjustments can make a big difference.

I bought one after seeing a woman demonstrating it on youtube. Haven't tried it yet. I keep planning on learning to hand quilt. I only have done a small wall quilt before I got the implement.

I used one when I did handquilting. It's the only way I'd do handquilting after learning how to use it. I watched a video about a dozen times and kept practicing. It was't long I was very comfortable using it. It's been a long time since I handquilted but I think it's like riding a bike, the how to will come back.

I am a longarmer but wanted to do some hand quilting on an hawaiian pillow top that I took a class for in Maui. Hand quilting is the only way to do a hawaiian piece any justice. Plus I have a hawaiian wall hanging that I would like to do eventually once I have the stitches consistent and timely down.

Speaking of Jean Brown: I used to see her at a lot of the shows I visited, but haven't seen her for a year or two. Does anyone know what she is doing now?
