About Becky
My name is Becky Sekulovski, and my company is Rebecca's Longarm Quilting. I formed this company when Sophia (my Gamiil) came to live with me seventeen years ago.
I have been sewing apparel for myself and my family for over 30 years. I have made everything imaginable, from crinoline petticoats to ties for my dad to American Girl doll clothes to Halloween costumes. I've always done all my window treatments and even tackled upholstery.
I have two daughters who have outgrown Mom's custom clothes and have opted for store-bought, so...
About 20 years ago, I bought Alex Anderson's book Learn to Quilt and immediately got hooked. I taught my family and friends and we've been quilting and enjoying fabrics ever since.
Longarming is genuinely a wonderful profession for me. I have quilted some pretty beautiful quilts and met some truly wonderful people.
My quilts are displayed at 2nd Street Quilt Shop in Downtown Rochester. 2nd Street Quilt Shop is also where I offer very convenient drop-off and pick-up!

Becky's Tips
Wavy Borders?
We've all experienced them.
Reason #1
Incorrectly attaching them. Measure the sides of your quilt, and cut borders to this measurement. Pin and stitch. Measure top and bottom of quilt, cut border to this measurement. Pin and stitch.
Reason #2
Never handle your quilt by the borders. The weight of the quilt is enough to stretch the borders. Most times stretched borders can be quilted out, but if it is excessive, I will take darts that can be hand stitched down.
Thread Shadows?
Make sure to pick stray threads on the back of the quilt top. This is expecially important if you are using light fabrics along with dark fabrics. the dark threads may show through the light fabrics on the front.
Quilt Backs:
When stitching a back for your quilt, a 1 inch seam allowance is recommended. Press seam open and remove selvages. Any selvage not included in a seam should not be removed.
