Thanks, again, for your fun teaching. I am a reluctant perfectionist, so to hear you give yourself grace and wiggle room is so liberating. So glad you shared tools and great instructions on how to use them. Brilliant!
I LOVE these videos! I have many Studio 180 rulers and having this resource and the knowledge of how to Tuckerize any pattern makes the cost of the rulers worth the price. As a visual learner, the videos are also great to watch as a refresher when I am using a ruler I haven’t used in a while. Thank you!!
Thank you Deb!!! I have started using the Tuckerizing method and it always works well for me! Love your videos and they have so helped me achieve much more accurate blocks.
Thank you for doing these tutorials!! That has been my reason for not using the Tucker Tools. I have most all of them but just didn’t understand how to change patterns to make them useful!!
Thank you, Deb. These Tips and Tricks videos are priceless. I have quite a few of your rulers and these sessions help me to fully utilize them and look at Tuckerizing patterns in a whole new light!
Thanks Deb! I love it when I can get the bugs (and mistakes) out of a pattern before I cut my precious fabrics. Your no nonsense explanations are so appreciated.
Excellent video and love learning how to be a pattern detective. You know they always say to read through your pattern before starting, but I see how you really need to break it down further to the block level and cutting instructions. I have so many time just followed the instructions and ALWAYS come up being a little small. Everyone would say you are not accurate with your 1/4" seam, but I am. When I am not in a hurry, now I make a test block with some scraps. I have the Tucker rulers, but really need this help in Tuckerizing. Please keep these coming. I can't wait until you get to the Split Rectangles.
It took a while but it made a ton of sense in the end when it all came together. The most helpful was the last tip of figuring out the size when you are given any great instruction. I most appreciated the explanation on sleuthing my way to figuring out how to start with the right size when I’m only given the finished block size. Thank you!
Thank you for a great Tips and Tricks video. This really gave me the Ah Ha moment. So glad you have started these weekly videos again. Working on old UFO's and when done with them will be doing Studio 180 blocks using the rulers I have purchased from Studio 180 but never used.
I love this!! I cut my blocks for hst units a full inch larger than the finished size and trim everything back. It makes the prettiest units and everything goes together so much better.
You do not need to worry about changing your yardage as most of the time there is plenty of extra built-in to the patterns. If you are worried an extra 1/4 yard is plenty.
Hi, I am enjoying your series, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you! I get the concept of oversizing but I'm wondering if extra fabric would be needed if the pattern your making doesn't accommodate for that. And if so, how do you figure out how much? Could an extra 1/4 yard be used as a rule of thumb?
Most pattern designers build in a bit of extra in case you have a miscut when cutting. This is usually enough to be able to oversize the pieces. As you guessed an extra 1/4 yard is usually enough if you are worried about not having enough fabric.
There’s the true math and then there is the mere mortal math. Any blocks with bias -require- *benefit from* mere mortal math a/k/a upsizing. Any small error in cutting piecing sewing or press are magnified on angles. Best to leave wing and prayer methods in a corner and use modern methods for consistent accurate results and minimum waste.
Do you find that Tuckerizing a pattern causes you to need additional yardage from what the pattern says the project will take, or do most patterns typically allow for your slight modifications without needing extra?
The yardage in most patterns allows for the oversizing with our having to get extra fabric. You can always get an extra 1/4 yard and that should be enough for oversizing. I will be covering this soon in an episode.
That is the tool instruction set that comes with the tool, it looks like a label when it is shrinkwrapped to the tool. On the Freedowlads page of our website, we have our instructions available for anyone that has lost theirs.
Excellent tutorial. So glad you're back!

thank you! As a former math teacher (and I guess anyone) I have to say you are a fantastic teacher!
I've been "tuckerizing" for quite some time. Makes perfect sense to do so and I'd rather trim than be short. Excellent video!

Such a fun chat and great tutorial! I finally got to put my feet put and watch you, while I hand quilt! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent !!! Love Your Approach!
Loving these videos. I love old patterns off of eBay and love your rulers can’t wait to start breaking them down and building some.
Super Advice!
Tks so much for these. Any hints on calculating yardage when we change cutting per block?
You do not need to worry about changing your yardage as most of the time there is plenty of extra built-in to the patterns. If you are worried an extra 1/4 yard is plenty.
Wonderful!
Thank you
Deb, thank you! Is there a way to obtain your printed notes?
Please email me at customer service and I will work on getting this for you. You can find the Contact Us at the bottom of my website.

@@DebTuckersStudio180Design In what episode do you cover the need of extra yardage for Tuckerizing a magazine quilt pattern, like in this great video?
@@SuperKaleido I have not had a chance to cover this yet. I hope to in the future.
How do you get one of those papers with the sizes on it?
It comes with the instructions when you buy the ruler.

Next time you move the camera, go slower so I can see your sewing room…on second thought, how about a tour?
