This is the current site to see the Aunt Becky video. When you get to this page, scroll down just a bit, and a list of videos is on the right. You want Hand quilting with Jean Wells. It is the same video that she sells on her site. (A Quilting from the Heartland episode, I believe).

I love Aunt Becky, so far I can do only 8 per inch, but they are very sonsistent, both front and back!

ArkansasPT OFFLINE Posts: 47	Thanks VIrginia- That's a great video. I have one quilt top I am hand piecing with the intention of hand quilting it- I think I will try this technique. Lisa

Thanks for the further info.

When I cut and paste this into my browser line, it works:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3442519466527029261

NOTE: This video is NOT the same one people posted about 6 months ago or so. It is way more blurry and less close up, but it still demonstrates how to use the thing and shows what promise it has.

I still think that Marguerite should post that original video somewhere on the web where people can find it easily .

Won't come up 16 May 2008 18:04 #18273

BethMI OFFLINE Posts: 422 Thank you received: 5	Sorry, Lisa, I don't get anything when I do that - just ads for the internet company. Surely, if we can't pull it up, most others won't be able to, either. I repeat - this video is so impresive that Marguerite should get it posted somewhere on the internet where it is easy to pull up and view! She'll sell a lot of do-dads if she does! BethMI

ukquilter OFFLINE Posts: 26	I just watched the video on Quilting with Shar/Quilting from the Heartland on QNN.tv about the Aunt Becky device what a great idea, I have to get one of those. I use a large frame (Alex's dads frame that DH made me) I am going to try in a small frame with the Aunt Becky for my next quilt. Wendy in Texas

ArkansasPT OFFLINE Posts: 47	Beth- I had the same problem initially. Click on the link at the top (it is dark I almost missed it) that says Brightcove TV then enter "Aunt Becky quilt" into the search box. It comes right up. Good luck, it's impressive Lisa

Marguerite - you should tell Jean to post that short video on the web again. Everyone I know who saw it ran right out and bought her product! I'm not sure they would have gone out right from the start and purchased a must more expensive DVD, but that video was so convincing that this was a superior way of doing things that it really grabbed people.

I suspect that if she wants to market the DVD, she can do that AFTER she has people hooked on her product.
