    Default Deb Tucker Rulers

    I am considering purchasing some of the Deb Tucker rulers/trimmers. What are your favorites and are they worth the purchase price?

    The Flying Geese ruler is my most used favorite.

    Hands down the Tucker Trimmer. I purchased it several months ago and use it more than any ruler that I own. I finally have square blocks that are all the same size!

    I bought the Hunters Star one. Have 100 blocks ready to lay out and arrange for tomorrow. Could not have made them without the ruler. Worth the money.

    I have the small Hunter's Star tool and like it very much. I think it is well done. I would like to have others but will wait a while for them.

    I have the Tucker Trimmer for squaring blocks and the flying Geese Ruler. Love the both. The trimmer is nice because it isn't overwhelming with all the lines of the other rulers. It's simple and quick. The flying geese ruler is great the way you line up both sides. Perfect geese are worth the ruler price.

    I have Tucker Trimmer, Square 2, Diamond, Split Rec, Corner Beam, V-Block, Hunters Star (large) Wing Clipper. I use them for every block I make that has those shapes. I know they can be pricey - but the blocks are perfect.... every time. They make so many sizes, that alone is worth the price. I will be attending her retreat in September, and will be using the Lemoyne Star and large square 2 ruler. I met her at the Syracuse AQS show. She is an exciting person as well as teacher.

    There is no wrong answer to this question. I have used most of her rulers and you get perfect units and blocks every time. I would start with the one that makes the units you need the most often or that you will be making next. The Tucker Trimmer is a good suggestion, as is the Wing Clipper. You will want all the others when you see the results.
