Not only does it work great, but you can make rings from the cut off handles. Young girls really like these spoon rings.

thanks for the link

Our ancestors were geniuses. I can't wait to try this.

I forgot to tell you about the under thimble. It is a little round circle that you stick to the end of your finger that goes under your quilt and you use it like a spoon. Mine came with double-sided tape that your put on the thimble and your finger. I got it at a fabric store that we have here.

Sounds GOOD to me lol

Cool. Sounds easier than using the little piece from a soda can that I superglued to my finger (necessity is the mother of invention). I haven't handquilting in a long time. I can do it but I'm picky so I'm SLOW.

Great idea! Never would have thought of that! :thumbup:

Thanks for the info. I've just begun my hand quilting. Struggled first my first one and am now piecing a queen size for our bed. Have considered Aunt Becky's but it seems like it would be awkward to hold for a long period of time. The TJ looks like it would be more user friendly. Any idea if it can be bought other than on line? Would like to see it "in person"
before buying it. It's going to be several months before I'll be ready for the hand quilting stage.

I don't quilt with a hoop so I didn't have enough hands to hold the spoon, needle, and quilt....

Just a hint; I have cut off the tips of an old pair of rubber cleaning gloves and use them on certain fingers; great for pushing and pulling the needle. The plus side is the needle does not go through the rubber. Hope this helps you.
