Frequently Asked Questions
I’d like to have Deb teach a class for my shop/guild/retreat. Where can I get information on classes that are available, her teaching fees, availability, etc?
Deb has a very busy calendar, so unfortunately there isn’t much time available for teaching, as much as she loves it. BUT, we do have an incredible group of Certified Instructors who have successfully completed Deb's intensive training course on the tools and how to effectively teach them. We highly recommend each and every one of our Certified Instructors, and know they will do a great job for you. Their contact information, as well as the geographic area they teach in, is on our Certified Instructor page, here.
I’m a pattern designer and would love to recommend your rulers in my patterns. Is that OK? How do I get permission?
We love it when pattern designers want to recommend our rulers. Just send us an email to let us know you’d like to do that, and we’ll send the OK, along with the instructions on how to correctly refer to the ruler. It’s that easy! We also have a Designer's Gallery for pattern designers who design patterns for our tools. Check it out here. For more information on getting your patterns posted here, contact Sue at tuckersm180@gmail.com.
Where’d you come up with the name Studio 180 Design?
Creativity involves looking at things in different ways – you could say 180 degrees different from everyone else. Deb’s creativity in ruler design is a hallmark of the company. Hence Studio 180 Design.
Do you sell your tools through distributors or big chain stores?
No, we sell directly to quilt shop owners, professional teachers, and through our wholesale website. That helps keep your costs down and helps keep your local quilt shop in business as well.
Can I use Deb’s tools with other patterns?
Absolutely! Each of the fundamental tools is designed to work with basic units that you will see in many different patterns and projects. The charts included with Deb’s tool instructions makes it easy to convert patterns to follow Studio 180’s philosophy of oversizing and trimming down for better accuracy and easier piecework.
How can I make a pattern larger or smaller?
You can easily accomplish this with Deb’s tools because of the range of sizes offered on each. Simply change the basic unit size, do a little calculation for some of the setting and bordering pieces and you can actually make many of our projects larger or smaller pretty quickly.
I’ve forgotten how to use the tool, can you help me?
We certainly can! Each of our tools have free demonstration videos available to anyone who has access to a computer or the internet.
