Tucker University is a new and exciting opportunity to help quilters build their skills and accuracy. Taught by Studio 180 Certified Instructor, Amy Costabile, each class in Freshman year will cover a different Studio 180 Design tool, along with ways to expand the use of the tool.  Students will make 4" finished units so that they can combine and create new blocks. Regardless of where you are in your quilting journey, these series of classes is intended to offer you an exciting opportunity to build your skills and accuracy.  Caution, the creativity is contagious!

Beginner to Advanced can attend Tucker University. 

Tucker University - Freshman Year:

Lesson 1: Tucker Trimmer I Tool - Learning the Tucker Trimmer & Shaded Four Patch
This is a longer lesson to allow more time to complete units.  

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 can make three (3) different units in 11 different sizes. 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.

You will also learn how to expand the use of your Tucker Trimmer 1 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 an unsecured bias. This method also eliminates the stretching and puckering within a unit. Quilters will use their Tucker Trimmer 1 to finalize their units and then discover a wide array of layouts that can be created with just one block.
