There are so many tools that are available to quilters nowadays, which make the process much easier, faster and more accurate. Have you ever wondered who comes up with those tools? Meet Deb Tucker, who is one of those amazing people. Deb has been quilting for 30 years, and she began teaching soon after she mastered many quilting techniques. She notes that accuracy was a recurring challenge for students, so she set out to create tools to help them be successful. Her tools are designed for improving ease and precision when piecing.

She demonstrates how they help simplify the creation of a LeMoyne Star with foolproof accuracy. Do you think of a LeMoyne Star as traditional? Not necessarily! Deb offers infinite variations on this block. She also dissects a quilt pattern, examining its parts and offering ideas for changes and simplifications. Later, Author and Fabric Designer Carrie Bloomston shows us how to cool down a wild color with paint and fabric.
