- The Secret of "Oversizing": You will learn the revolutionary method of cutting units slightly larger than needed and trimming them down to the exact millimeter.
- Flawless Point Accuracy: Say goodbye to chopped-off triangle points and mismatched seams; your blocks will fit together perfectly every single time.
- Unlock Your Rulers: If you have expensive specialty rulers sitting in your drawer collecting dust, this course will finally unlock their full potential.
- Design Freedom: By mastering these tools, you will gain the confidence to alter existing patterns, design your own blocks, and streamline your entire cutting process.
In this particular class in the Tucker University Curriculum we will learn how to use the Tucker Trimmer I to create precise half square triangles, quarter square triangles, combination units, and Shaded Four Patch blocks. Students will explore Deb Tucker’s strip piecing method to eliminate stretching and puckering while building accuracy and confidence with foundational quilt units. This class is a perfect introduction to the Studio 180 Design tool system and includes creative layout possibilities using the Shaded Four Patch block.
