Quilt with Marci Baker

Do your seams narrow at the end? Move the needle to the right, use a regular foot, and position Sewing Edge (purple strip) with the Perkins Perfect Piecing Seam Guide for an exact seam on any machine.
Great for guaranteed seams on group quilts!

If you can relate, then I want to hear from you! What do you struggle with when sewing/quilting? Maybe you think you have to live with it…

A few years back, a student’s husband said he didn’t hear as much grumbling coming from the sewing room since she had learned my techniques.

Another student who was a long time quilter told me “I wish I had learned your quilting methods because I wouldn’t have to unlearn what I currently do!”

A shop owner who has been quilting for more than 50 years told me “Using your techniques was the most relaxing quilting/sewing that I have ever done and it was even under a deadline!”

Share your thoughts with me and you will be entered into a drawing for a free one-year membership to The Quilt Show!

Why do I want to know? I want you to enjoy your quilting even more! Throughout 2026 I will present solutions to these frustrations. Chances are you already have what it takes to eliminate the problem. You just need some redirection. Sign up for my newsletter at QuiltwithMarciBaker.com and throughout the year I will show you how to update your methods so that swearing is not a part of your sewing/quilting routine.

Send me an email by the end of 2025: December 31, 2025, 11:59 pm Mountain Time, USA, with your top frustration and you will be entered into the drawing.
