My dear friends in Philomath Oregon Janni Lou invented the Aunt Becky. You rock it back and forth so the needle bounces off the top. www.jannilou.com Hopes this helps

I did the same thing!!!!!! and I pain 10 cents for it at a thrift store. It works just as well. Just bend the handle.

All you have to do is practice and the needle scrapes up the back of the spoon. It made my back stitches more uniform.

The one complaint I heard was that 'AB' or the spoon will dull your needle faster. I didn't notice that it had.

I have one here and it will not work for me since I am left handed. So I will stay faithful to my hoop and a rocking stitch.
