Date: Tuesday, September 15th, 2026
Time: 5 PM - 9 PM
Teacher: Karen Paquette
Cost: $25.00

This class will be held via zoom where a link will be emailed to you prior to the meeting time. Karen will provide videos for education and be there to support you throughout the class. Learn how to use the Tucker Trimmer 1 ruler to create half square triangles, quarter square triangles, and combination units. With 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.

Materials needed:

• Fabric: This is a great time to use your stash to perfect your piecing. A fabric preparation and cutting video will be sent to your email prior to the class to allow you to be fully prepared for class
