Did you only sign up for one or two classes? This is your time to take the classes you may have missed out on.

What is Tucker University? It involves using Studio 180 Design rulers to perfect and improve your piecing skills. You absolutely won't be disappointed in your results and you will be wanting to "Tuckerize" any pattern you work on going forward.

Do you feel like you have been missing out and want to jump into the University and get caught up? This will allow you to get caught up and jump into Month 6 as long as you also take the Month 5 classes that are occuring earlier in June.

Learn how to use a Tucker Trimmer 1 to create half square triangles, quarter square triangles, and combination units. With the Tucker Trimmer 1 alone, a quilter has 33 opportunities to create precise units. These units are often what we refer to as basic units, therefore they must be precise to fit nicely with more advanced units. This is a perfect place for any quilter to begin their journey through the Studio 180 Design set of tools.

The use of a Tucker Trimmer I can be expanded by creating a Shaded Four Patch unit. By using Deb Tucker's method of strip piecing the construction of a shaded-four patch, the quilter eliminates the need to stitch fabrics on unsecured bias. This method also elminates the stretching and puckering with the unit. Quilters will use their Tucker Trimmer I to finalize their units and then discover a wide array of layouts that can be created.

Tucker Trimmer I
