ive always been afraid of hand quilting partly because i have arthritus in my hands probably due to years of cross stitch and embroidery and working with my hands my stitches are very uneven but ive always wanted to learn and it seems like this tool might make it easier on me. im ordering 1 today.

It is funny, how necesssity is the mother of invention, but if you never needed it, it would not occur to you. I sometimes use a little, 1 " circle of rubber to pull, but I rarely need it. I found the rubber 'puller' at an embroidery shop that specialized in smocking.
