If you've been to our quilt shop, you may already know we are BIG Deb Tucker Studio 180 Design fans! We have an entire wall dedicated to her various rulers and technique sheets. Our owner implements her rulers into many of her classes including Beginning quilting and has even taught Deb Tucker University classes. We are addicted!
These rulers can be used to accurately create so many different quilting units using her 'trim to perfect' technique. If you're new to her rulers, below is information on which rulers create different common quilting units and blocks.
