Studio 180 Design

Hi, I’m Jonce’ Smith, national Certified Instructor for Studio 180 Design, the company Deb Tucker created for her patented line of quilting tools. Do you have a sewing room with ‘who knows’ how much fabric?  Do you get stressed out and tense when cutting and sewing your quilt tops? End all that stress with one of my fun filled classes and afterward, you’ll be ‘quilting up a storm’. 

Studio 180 tools make quilting FUN and EASY because you don’t even have to sew perfect ¼” seams! In class, you’ll learn how to correctly use the Studio 180 tool to make your blocks that are trimmed down to the exact size you need using the tool’s special lines. No more wonky seams that don’t match and no more quilt blocks that won’t fit together correctly. Piecing your quilt top will be a breeze. Your new quilts will showcase beautiful designs, and all of your star points will be perfectly crisp and sharp. If you’re ready to take your quilting skills to a higher level, join me for an exciting class full of learning and laughter as we explore and use the wonderful Studio 180 Design tools.

Rangeley Wall Quilt 

A beginner friendly pattern that even experienced, seasoned quilters love because of the secret way the inner star points are created!  A beautiful top that isn’t complicated, thanks to the Magic Wand and the Tucker Trimmer I tool which always rewards you with perfect crisp star points every time. Center 4 star block is 17” square and with the additional small stars surrounding it, the finished size is 42” x 42”. Double the design and you can quickly make a stunning lap quilt!

Required pattern and both tools at a special class price of $42  (normal retail $50.90).

Yankee Pride

Another gorgeous star quilt, but this one is made using the Wing Clipper tool!  Yes the Wing Clipper tool that's 'THE' favorite tool when making flying Geese units, can also be used to make star blocks!  The tool can make up to TEN different sized units and with the help of its companion technique sheets, can make three additional quilt block units.  How's that for value!

Pick two to three coordinating colors in various shades from your stash and quickly make this sensational quilt.  No stash?  Select two of your favorite colors and use multiple shades of them (cornflower blue and yellow, deep purple and cool sage green, red/white and black, light and dark batiks) and have fun sewing up these star blocks.

This top goes together fast and uses two different stat block sizes for visual interest.  Finishes size is 69 x 83.  Required pattern and tool are at a special class price of $40 (normal retail $45).
