Tucker University - Tucker Trimmer

Tucker Trimmer I and Shaded Four Patch.  In this class learn how to use the Tucker Trimmer I to create half square triangles, quarter square triangles, and combination units.  With the Tucker Trimmer I alone, a quilter can make 3 different units in 11 different sizes.  These units are often what are referred to as basic units, therefore, they need to be precise to fit nicely with more advanced units.  This is a great place for any quilter to begin their journey through the Studio 180 Design set of tools.  Click for Class Information and Cutting Instructions.

You will also learn how to expand the use of the Tucker Trimmer I by creating a Shaded Four Patch unit.  By using Deb Tucker's method of strip piecing the construction of the shaded four patch, you will eliminate the need to stitch fabrics on an unsecured bias.  This method also eliminates the stretching and puckering within the unit.  You will use the Tucker Trimmer I to finalize the units and discover a wide array of layouts that can be created with just one block.
