good to see u back instructing and encouraging all of us out here.✔

[@lynnehill4608]

It is so nice to see you and your tutorials once again. I have missed you!!!!! Thank you for another great one!!! Looking forward to the next.

Thank you so much for creating such practical tools. I used to dread trimming up HSTs all the time. I recently purchased your trimmer ruler and it is truly a game changer. I no longer dread squaring up my HSTs. Thanks a bunch!

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

That is wonderful to hear. I am so glad that you now find trimming easier with the Tucker Trimmer. Have fun with all your quilting endeavors.

[@ladybridey8559]

I learn so much from these!

[@patriciam6185]

[@cindymcfarland4686]

Another super video! I so look forward to them. I love your tools and thank you for taking the time to make the videos. Merry Christmas.

Doreen was a legend! I do have a couple of her books. Recently I was using your V Block tool, making 4 small blocks, then twirling those blocks into a larger block. Still on my design wall, but lots of possibilities!

new to quilting/sewin/this site. Lots to learn! Thx

[@margueriteauger5347]

Just like the common names of plants, confusion reigns. There should be a Latin name applied to common block units to eliminate the confusion. Ha ha ha! Just kidding!!! Great video Deb, so glad these Tips and tricks videos are back.

I’m hoping that you will have a booth at the 2024 AQS Show j. Lancaster, PA next year! I so miss seeing all yiur tools, patterns, etc. in person so 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed😄

I am scouting your rulers at my LQS. Currently using the Wing Clipper for large flying geese!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

The V block is one of my favorite blocks, and of course I have your tool. And while two V Blocks make a diamond rectangle, I highly recommend your Diamond Recs ruler. Why make two blocks when you can make one (presuming that it is not a design choice to have different fabric together)? I actually saw a maker put two split rectangles together (two fabrics, so not a design choice). Now a split rectangle is the least common denominator among these blocks. I have all three of your tools; I always recommend them; and they are well used.

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

Thank you! It is so wonderful to hear that you use the tools and get so much out of them.

[@kayrigert6746]

I've used this tool to make the quilts on the upper right and left. The accuracy is amazing!! What is the pattern on the lower left with the black and white four patches?

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

I am not 100% sure which pattern you are looking at. The two on the bottom are Galaxy and Doubly Charmed. Both are on our website. if this isn't from the opening please let me know the time stamp so I can look at it and let you know what pattern it is.

[@kayrigert6746]

That's it the Doubly Charmed pattern. Thanks!!

[@BAM-jc7uy]

I use pellon SF101 (shape flex)....instead of paper having to be torn out.🥴 Also, shape flex can be used to use in "summer" quilts that you are not using batting in. You can draw on shape flex 101, and there is a light adhesive side activated with a heated iron....but the block remains flexible, not stiff.

I from Costa Rica I am new in this I want to learn

[@carolynforeman5647]

I used your V-block tool to make a 54-40 or Fight quilt for a veteran. I had some trouble getting things perfect, but maybe I was too aggressive with my pressing

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

Yes, sometimes the shape can bow if you are too aggressive with the pressing as they are long bias edges. You can fix that with some more pressing just press them back in using a bit of steam just like the fix in the Flying Geese tips and tricks video called Tryly Perfect Flying Geese.

[@susanvallera962]

I am wondering if I can use the V-block trimmer to make a diamond in a rectangle ( like 2 of the V Blocks butted together)?

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

You can, you would just sew them together so that the large triagnles form a diamond. If you don't what the seam you should investigate our Diamond Rects tool as it makes this shape with no seam down the middle.
