Longarm Quilting with intention
Design guidance, quilting strategies, and skill-building support.
so you can trust your choices and finish your quilts with confidence.
Longarm quilting should feel like a continuation of your creative vision, not a moment where doubt takes over.
Every pattern I design includes longarm quilting guides and video tutorials to help you make intentional design choices and build skills naturally. And if you ever decide you’d rather have a quilt finished the way you see it stitched here—or with a design uniquely suited to your top—I offer longarm quilting services as well.
But what if you are just starting. I also create content periodically to help explore the ins and outs of longarm quilting, and soon will release an option for a monthly membership to help you learn the basics of designs as well.
However you choose to finish your work, the goal is the same: quilting that supports the quilt, not overwhelms it.
Things I Wish I Knew
When I first started longarm quilting, I didn’t know anyone who quilted their own work. The quilters around me sent their tops out, and I quietly felt alone.
What surprised me most wasn’t the machine—it was the doubt. Was this the right design? What if I ruined a quilt top I had already invested so much time, skill, and money into?
I believed I needed to know everything before I could begin. That belief stalled me far more than any technical mistake ever did.
I don’t want that experience for you.
Longarm quilting isn’t about never making mistakes.
It’s about learning how to respond when the quilt asks for something different.
If something doesn’t go as planned, you adapt. If a block doesn’t turn out the way you imagined, repeat it elsewhere, and it becomes a design choice.
If stitches need to come out, that’s not failure—it’s process.
Confidence comes from allowing yourself to try, adjust, and keep going.
Start where you are. Give yourself permission to learn—and let me help you build from there.
How the Pattern Video Tutorials Work
If you are new, curious about how this all works, or just purchased a pattern and want to know what to expect from the video tutorial.

Then, drawings of the designs we will be covering.

Longarm Quilting Inquiries
While This Baker Quilts is centered on helping you quilt your own work with confidence, there are times when having a quilt finished for you simply makes sense. I offer longarm quilting services on an inquiry basis, with a focus on thoughtful edge-to-edge and simple semi-custom designs that support the quilt rather than compete with it. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to reach out, and we can talk through your quilt and what it needs
