I'd like to know where to get such a good thimble with the deep recess at the top. I have no haberdashery or quilting shops within easy reach, and so far have not found that kind of thimble on the net. Can anybody help?

What I like about Aunt Becky is that my stitches are neater and more uniform. If I had known about it a year ago when I started hand quilting my 70+ year old GFG that my grandmother made, I probably would not have tendonitis in my right wrist from constant repetitive motion. With Aunt Becky and a wrist splint like the carpel tunnel folks wear, I think I can get this quilt finished. This will probably be the end of my hand quilting. But, I have a new sewing machine!

I understand my order from the Aunt Becky author arrived and I"M NOT HOME! Drat!

I use a Aunt Becky's and most people do not know what I am talking about ... I can not hold my hands the same way she does on top of the quilt.. I position my hands as if I am going to use the rocking motion with the needle in the down position.. Then I just push on the needle to feed it through.. I can get avg of 12 stitches per inch with the Aunt Becky.... They are all precise and uniform...

I noted there are alot of other videos.......I want to watch them or at least some of them too.

Not enuf hours in the day, is there?

Lynn,
Thanks for posting that link. The video was fascinating to me. I want to try using that little tool.

I've just heard about an Aunt Becky device. Google it to see it is like a flattened thimble or spoon which you use UNDER the quilt.

I understand there is a video out there to watch it being done and that it is a totally different motion....no rocking......have you seen it? Where is the link? I have googled Shar Jorgensen and Aunt Becky and found that she demo'd it on QNN, but I have not used QNN before and can't find the right show. I understand it is entitled, "Needle Turn Applique" and she demo's the Aunt Becky for quilting at the end of video.

I'd like to see it demo'd before I buy it. Don't we all have enuf tools that we thought would be perfect. And they sit in our drawers in "perfect" shape because we didn't like them?

Thanks in advance,
Lynn

Edited: the link is no longer functional so I have removed it.
