Tuckerizing - V Block units - Tips & Tricks from the Tucker Team

Learn more about tuckerizing projects that have units you typically hear referred to as Peaky & Spike or Triangle in a Square. Today Deb is walking you through how to identify those units. We call them V Blocks, and you will find them in many patterns and magazines. Deb will show you how to determine the size of the units that you need to make. Then she will share a bit about how the units can be made oversized and trimmed to perfection with the V Block tool.

As always, thanks for watching 💜

Doreen was a legend! I do have a couple of her books. Recently I was using your V Block tool, making 4 small blocks, then twirling those blocks into a larger block. Still on my design wall, but lots of possibilities!

Love this tool!! Actually I love all your rulers.

Just like the common names of plants, confusion reigns. There should be a Latin name applied to common block units to eliminate the confusion. Ha ha ha! Just kidding!!! Great video Deb, so glad these Tips and tricks videos are back.

Thank you so much for creating such practical tools. I used to dread trimming up HSTs all the time. I recently purchased your trimmer ruler and it is truly a game changer. I no longer dread squaring up my HSTs. Thanks a bunch!

I use pellon SF101 (shape flex)....instead of paper having to be torn out.🥴 Also, shape flex can be used to use in "summer" quilts that you are not using batting in. You can draw on shape flex 101, and there is a light adhesive side activated with a heated iron....but the block remains flexible, not stiff.

I've used this tool to make the quilts on the upper right and left. The accuracy is amazing!!
What is the pattern on the lower left with the black and white four patches?

[carolynforeman]

I used your V-block tool to make a 54-40 or Fight quilt for a veteran. I had some trouble getting things perfect, but maybe I was too aggressive with my pressing

[susanvallera]

I am wondering if I can use the V-block trimmer to make a diamond in a rectangle ( like 2 of the V Blocks butted together)?
