Tool of the Month

V-Block

by Studio 180 Design

PERFECT POINTS MATTER! This tool is a must have if you like making quilts with these tall star point units. Sometimes known as “Peaky and Spike”, a nickname attached to the unit about 20 years ago by a famous quilter, Doreen Speckman, this particular shape has perplexed quilters forever. With Deb’s tool, which you can see used on the free online video demonstration, you’ll be cutting the center and side triangles slightly over sized and then with the same tool trimming the sewn piece to an extremely precise unit with seams perfectly placed for crisp, sharp points at every intersection. So think about adding this magnificent new tool to your toolbox, you’ll be glad you did.

Tucker Trimmer 1

Exploration Class

The Tucker Trimmer tool was designed to help quilters quickly and easily trim down units that are made with triangles: half square triangle squares, quarter square triangle squares (hourglass units), and combinations of half square and quarter square triangle squares (combination units). This class will teach you how to use the Tucker Trimmer I, making trim down and precision piecing a breeze.
