Split Rects/Diamond Rects Combined!

Expand your quilting skills and discover how much easier precision piecing can be with Deb Tucker’s Split Rects® and Diamond Rects® tools. These classes are designed to help you become comfortable with specialty rulers while learning techniques you can use again and again in quilts of many styles. Whether you are looking to sharpen your cutting skills, improve accuracy, or simply try something new, these classes offer plenty of hands-on practice in a relaxed and encouraging setting.

Discover the possibilities of the Split Rects® ruler and learn how to create beautifully proportioned split rectangle units with confidence. Split rectangle units add movement and visual interest to quilt designs and can be arranged in countless ways to create striking geometric patterns, stars, borders, and more.

During class, we’ll work through the process step by step, from preparing and positioning your fabric to understanding the ruler markings and trimming your finished units for accuracy. You’ll learn how to make both right- and left-facing units, an important skill for creating designs that flow in different directions.

Take your precision piecing to the next level with the Diamond Rects® ruler. In this class, you’ll learn how to create crisp, beautifully centered elongated diamond units without relying on templates or frustrating paper piecing.

We’ll begin by exploring the ruler and learning how its markings correspond to the different unit sizes. From there, you’ll learn how to cut the center diamond and side triangles, position the pieces correctly, sew them together, and use the ruler to trim each unit to the proper size.
