I have used one for years and love it. Saves my poor fingers below the surface and helps keeps my stitches somewhat consistent. If I did more hand quilting, I could improve, but I would rather be piecing another quilt.

I've used one since I first learned to hand quilt. I don't use it exactly the same as Jean Brown does but It doesn't matter. I just like how the needle skims off the Aunt Becky instead of my finger!
I've tried other methods but my stitches are smaller and nicer looking when I use Aunt Becky.
I quilt "towards" myself, with a rimmed thimble on my top hand, if that makes any difference.
