Megann grew up on a small farm in Plymouth, Nebraska, where her love for sewing began at the age of five. Megann's mother and grandmother taught her how to sew and encouraged her to practice her new skills by joining 4-H and creating garments, quilts, and crafts to be judged at the county fair. She stuck with it for twelve years. Megann continued creating and sewing as she attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. She moved to Illinois to grow her love for sewing as an Educator for BERNINA of America. Her favorite memories were having several of her pieces featured in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery and having her Quilt of Valor featured in the QOV book, A 50 State Salute, representing the great state of Nebraska.

Because it’s designed for straight-stitching, Patchwork foot # 37D is ideal for sewing 1/4” or 1/8” (approx. 3 or 6 mm) seam allowances.
In addition, Patchwork foot # 37D features three evenly spaced markings (1/4” apart) on its side that make the square insertion of pieces in patchworking easier. A narrow groove under the flat sole serves as a thread channel for smoother piecing. TIP: a large sewing table or cabinet makes quilt piecing easier and promotes greater precision as it supports your patchwork better.
Enjoy the ease of sewing afforded by Patchwork foot # 37D – your partner when it comes to patchwork and precision stitching techniques.
