Wing Clipper Ruler for Making Perfect Flying Geese 

I just bought this tool at a quilt shop. Unfortunately, it had been opened. I didn't realize it didn't have instructions. Is there a way to get a copy of the instructions?

I know it might be a little tacky to toot my own horn here, but honestly, the wing clipper is probably the best tool I've designed. It is an absolute game changer when it comes to making flying geese, and you'll never cringe again when you see them in a pattern you want to make 💜

Hope you enjoy it!

Aw, you are so welcome! I'm glad my tools have made you into a more successful piecer!

Thanks, Randi! I'm glad I could make Flying Geese a little more painless for you. I know you're going to love using the Wing Clipper tool 💜

Aw, I'm glad it was helpful! I may not have been around when you started, or you might not have found me right away, but at least going forward these tools will be able to help you become the perfect piecer you've always dreamed of becoming!! 💜

Hi carylanne, how did your geese come out? I know it's an old video, but thought I'd chance a comment as yours is only 3 months old. I had your problem but I didn't make a zillion pieces, just kept trying on practice every now & then but definitely over a few yrs. Found out the major problem is that the thread in the seam takes up space so the geese can't come out exact if the fabrics are cut exactly and the sewing is on the line. The tutor knows this wh is why she said to skip a bit on the edges. In another vid on geese, she said use your best tools. I discovered if you can use your finest needles and finest thread, you will have a better fit as the seam won't use up so much room. Another cheat that worked well for me was to draw the line then sew just inside it. I think this is equal to the tutor skimping on the small squares by laying them "about 1/16 inch" in on the corners of the larger square. She moved the squares in and I moved the stitching in. If you haven't found a fool proof method, try mine "Sara's Posh Geese" (wh is just a made up name for "when at first [or ever] you don't succeed, try something else!). I lay out my pieces to fit and where there are supposed to be seams, I use my decorative stitches over the edges and make fancy wings.😁 I hope, if this vid didn't give you perfect geese, that you could use the info I gave you. Either way I hope you finally have your beautiful geese. Happy sewing!🙋

Thank you!!

The pattern for the quilt hanging behind me is called Yankee Pride. You can find it here: deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/products/yankee-pride?_pos=1&_sid=76e70c18d&_ss=r

I would like the pattern as well!

Because of how we oversized the starting squares the nudge allows for there to be extra along the top and side edges for trimming. With out the nudge you will not have enough fabric for trimming when you are done sewing.

The starting square sizes vary depending on the flying geese size you want to make, and are included in the instructions with the tool. You can download a copy of the instruction set here: bit.ly/Studio180DesignFreeDownloads

Hey Linda, It actually doesn't matter at all how your seams are pressed when making the Fast Flying Geese. I just tend to press them toward the smaller triangles out of habit, but you could press them both the same direction, both toward the large triangle, or open.Because you are positioning lines over the sewn seams and not a "ridge" or "groove" the choice is totally up to you! Good luck with all your Flying Geese projects 💜

The Wing Clipper II only has 9 sizes, while the Wing Clipper I has 10 sizes. In the video, the 10 sizes referred to are the sizes on the Wing Clipper I. If you still have questions please let me know.

I would check to see what the term finished means in the pattern. If I was to guess they actually want a 2"x4" finished unit on our tool. The use of the word finished size is not always consistent. I suggest making a test unit and then measuring the unit and then on our chart look at the Cut Size column to find a size that corresponds to what you are measuring and I bet it will be a cut size of 2 1/2"x 4 1/2" on our chart. You can email us at customer service if you still have questions about this.

That's my "Yankee Pride" pattern, available here: deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/products/yankee-pride

If you are starting with the Rectangle and Square method then no you do not. If the pattern originally uses the fast flying geese method with no oversizing you might need an extra 1/8 yard, it all depends on if the pattern designer builds in a little extra yardage as you will need maybe an extra 1" but that is really it. Usually you don't need to purchase extra.

I like to use a regular mechanical pencil or a chalk pencil. Something that makes a nice fine line.

Hi Courtney, which video? It looks like Quilttv might be AQS (American quilters society) I found a repost of my Tucker Trimmer tool there with our business information below the video.

@@DebTuckersStudio180Design It was your wing clipper ruler video. here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qiDaBmmLg9U.html. So if you are getting paid per view, they have stolen 6,000 views from you

@@DebTuckersStudio180Design They also have your rapid fire lemoyne star video posted.

@@courtneyblock6795 we do not get paid per view, mostly youtube is a free platform and we don't make any money from it. Thank you for informing me. Any tools that they are selling come directly from us and any search for Deb Tucker easily turns us up. I believe these are here from classes that I have taught with them in the past. Thank you for this we really appreciate our customers keeping an eye out for us as we can't be aware of everything that is going on in the quilt industry no matter how hard we try.
