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.

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 certainly am interested. If someone can help me, it would
really be appreciated. We are finally getting summer here.
20+ celcius for tomorrow. We usually have had a lot more
warm weather by this time in Saskatchewan.

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.
