Back to Basics with Dan - Wing Clipper
Dan Perkins is an award-winning piecer. His quilts have won blue ribbons throughout the US. Come learn how Dan ensures his blocks are always square, and precise, and his quilts assemble easily. Dan will be teaching the Techniques of piecing using the Studio 180 Design’s Tools. He will teach the basics for each tool, how to “Tuckerize” quilt patterns and to get your best block every time.
-The Wing Clipper is a must have tool if you are making Flying Geese units for your quilts. This tool, and the associated Fast Flying Geese construction technique, allow you to make four finished units from five squares. The best part is that each unit is constructed slightly oversized so each can be trimmed to a perfect size with perfect seam placement once the sewing and pressing are complete by using the Wing Clipper tool. Every single unit will be exactly right every time. Now who ever thought that would happen with Flying Geese units?!?!

| Requirements: | When signing up these classes, please note these are not beginner sewing classes but quilting classes to perfect techniques. You MUST own your own tool or be prepared to purchase one. No sharing of your friend’s. The designer has expended many hours calculating precisely the size and markings to ensure you get precise blocks every time. These hours, plus the cost to have “demo rulers” to “test” them is time and money. So, let’s please ensure we show our appreciation and purchase and buy your own patterns and tools! |
