Tuckerizing - Half Square Triangles - Tips & Tricks from the Tucker Team 

Great advice!

Thank you 😊

Really loving these and have started purchasing items.

thx

One of my go to things when life is hard is to try and workout how to size the shapes in patterns. It has to be said I end up sometimes fudging them because I haven’t quite got it correct. I have only just found your videos and they are amazing. They make complete sense with the bumping up size etc. Thank you so much .

Good to see you, Deb.

Welcome back! We missed you

Sooo happy to see you again. Love your tools and your tricks!!!

This was great!!! So glad to see Tips & Tricks back!!

Yea!!! Your back!!!😃😃😃

Deb, so glad you are back!!!!!! This is invaluable information!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Looking forward to your next video!!!!!

Another fabulous lesson. Thanks Deb

So glad you are back. I think about Tuckerizing when I have a pattern, but don't have the confidence to actually take the step. These videos will help me get the confidence. The other thing I wonder is if I have a kit, can I still Tuckerize? Not sure if I would have enough fabric to convert to Tuckerizing. Thank you for making these videos.

Another fantastic video. Thank you.

I often WANT to "Tuckerize" but now I know how! Thank you, Studio 180 Design & Deb Tucker!

Great seeing you. Thanks for another informative and useful video.

One of your most useful videos! Thanks.

Glad to see you are back!!! Looking forward to more informative videos! I love your rulers ❤️

We have missed you. Thanks so much for all you do to help make us more efficient!!!

Yeah ! I've missed Thursday Tips & Tricks . Welcome back.

Thank you for bringing your tutorials back! I have found them very helpful. I have been applying your methods with your great rulers to my quilt construction. I look at patterns with new eyes before I start a new project! I have had beautiful results!

I couldn't live without the Tucker tools - they make my life so much easier! Thank you Deb for bringing back the Tips & Tricks!

I immediately try to Tuckerize all my patterns before beginning. I even emailed them once for assistance on a complex piece and they were great!

I have Tuckerized completely the last 3 quilts that I made. It is a lot of fun!

Thanks for another great video!

Thrilled your back! I always learn something new. Plus, I just love seeing your pretty quilts.

Thank goodness I've learned more from you than anyone. 💗

So glad the tips and tricks are back! Excellent lesson….Thank you Deb Connie🇨🇦

I’ve been doing this with all my own projects and when I read other patterns. Who can cut anything at 7/8s inch? It makes my eyes criss cross. 😂 I have been cutting oversize and trimming back for a while and it’s so nice to see this affirmation that it really is the best way and makes the most sense. Thanks so much for putting this out there. I’ll definitely take a look at your tool and chart. I invested in quilting software to help me get my ideas out of my head in a more efficient manner and I am so disappointed to find I can’t change the cutting instructions to reflect my over size cutting. So while the software is super helpful, I was hoping to be able to make that adjustment. So glad I found your channel!

Love that I can Tuckerize a pattern! It saves me so much time and my piecing is so much better. I loved what you said about being a powerful quilter. Thank you Deb!

Where have you been hiding? I knew there was an easier way a "zillion" half -square triangles. I'm all for "easy peesy"What a blessing!

We’re very appreciative of your vids whenever you have time to produce them. Personally, I love these Tuckerize videos b/c I try to spend a lot of time translating from other patterns. Love, love the trim down method. Your tools changed my quilting life!

So glad you are doing new tutorials! You have so much knowledge to share and are a pleasure to watch and learn from! I enjoy your to the point and no nonsense methods.

Thanks so much for all the great tips

Boy, oh boy, oh boy am I happy to see Thursday Tips & Tricks back! I’m glad you took a well-deserved break, and I’m thrilled to see you back! I have been Tuckerizing many patterns, sometimes just for the fun of it even if I have no intention of making that pattern. Besides making the construction easier, quicker, highly accurate (and therefore more fun), it helps stave off dementia. 😊

I'm glad you had a good break. So glad to see you back. Valuable info. Tuckerize all the way!

Great video! LOVED seeing the real-life examples!

The 2nd example is Dove(s) in the Window, an historical pattern. I just completed a queen sized quilt in this pattern, using Kaffe fabrics and Studio 180 tools. So happy I have these tools!

I love traditional quilt patterns so Tuckerizing has been real valuable to me and I have all your basic rulers. Look forward to this Tuckerizing series.

Have recently heard of the Tucker method of cutting & sewing quilt blocks. Glad I found you before I started buying unfamiliar items for my quilting. Think I'm fixing to have a quilting 💡💡💡go off!

I've done Eight at Once. Would love to learn 16 at once method.

Wow! Thanks. Just the inspiration I needed for some current projects. I would also love to see tuckerizing for corner replacement patterns where the want you to cut 2 1/2" and sew perfectly or snowball units. There are soooo many of these.

I love your tools! This is the next step that I have been looking for. THANK YOU! How do you adjust the yardage required when buying fabric?

OMG Deb!! Great video - love HST - and it’s nice to see your way of marking changes in magazines. I have always preferred to make things oversized and trim down even before I discovered your tools years ago - just makes more sense to me and I do have wonky eyes so cutting 7/8” of anything is not for me. Thank you so much for everything - your instructions make perfect sense even for quilters who have yet to discover your tools!!!

I've missed you. I always Tuckerize my pattern s that aren't your's. Your rulers make quilting so much easier! Glad you're back.

I have ALL your tools/rulers. I need that Greenbelt pattern for sure as I was raised in Greenbelt, Maryland 😀. My question is can you tell me where I might find, or the name of, the piece of furniture you have behind the area you videotaped the Tuckerizing process. The one with lots of small drawers going down one side and 2 doors on the other. Thank you so much for both the information and your information on quilting which I so appreciate.

I think engineering one’s approach is key to optimizing time and material utilization and of course deploying the correct tools. I frequently see wasteful methods of construction. Flying Geese and Hst’s being serial offenders. Quilting is like anything else… there are bad, good, better and best ways to accomplish the same thing. How much time effort and material waste the factors in assessing methods. Your tools help check these boxes.

Any cut with ?/8 is not in my vocabulary! Thank you for the okay to bump those squares up to a real number!

I’m in hog heaven looking at all the fabric. Nice

Okay, wow, I am beginning a project that I have no idea how to do!!! Help!! I need to add a new 5" border to a vintage quilt and then, of course, rebinding the quilt. It is 80" x 80" square. It is in fairly good condition, only a few worn places, and I know what to do for those worn places. My approach is to sew on the new 5" border, using mitered corners; then sew on a "back" for that 5" border; and then lay down 5" of batting between the back and the top of the new border. I am going to free motion quilt the new border. Then I assume I can continue adding a new binding as I usually would do. Does this make sense? Does anyone have any tips for this adventure?

Do you buy extra fabric when you tuckerized a pattern?

where can rulers be purchased?
