| "What is Tucker University?" |
Tucker University is the most, complete, comprehensive quilt making course available today. Tucker University was written by Beth Sidley and Phyllis Fay who are both Studio 180 Certified Instructors. Tucker University was created based on the product line offered by Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design Tools and technique sheets.
|
| "Who should take Tucker University?" |
All quilters regardless of their experience can benefit from the quality of piecing achieved using the Studio 180 Design tools and techniques.
|
| "Will we be making an entire quilt in class?" |
The classes are set up as technique classes. Students taking a Tucker University Class you will gain new techniques without the obligation of having to complete a full quilt top. Students will make a variety of 4” finished blocks units in each class.
|
| "Why take a technque class instead of a project class?" |
By taking a technique class you improve specific skill without the stress of having to create an entire project. This also avoids creating another unfinished project.
|
| "How long are the classes?" |
The classes are set up to be approximately 3 hours in length, with the exception of the first class which will take closer to four hours.
|
| "Can I only sew Studio 180 Designs Quilts using the Tucker Tools?" |
Absolutely not, almost all quilts can be “Tuckerized” to work with the tools to ensure accurate piecing. The classes just teach you the techniques.
