It looks like it works well in the video - I wonder if anyone on the QB has tried it? I have seen this at the quilt shows but never stopped to look closely at it. Thanks for posting the link to the video.

I never use more than 1 pin- just where I plan to start stitching. I was taught this trick in the 5th grade by my Home-Ec teacher Mrs Gunther who said ''I hate wrestling with things more then once''. She taught us Practical Working Shortcuts -Who say's you don't use stuff you learned years after you get out of school : )
I have one but as of yet have not used it. Saw it done at a quilt show and it does work. You have to make sure you have the fabric the right way

I've had this foot for a long time now. It also comes with a little wooden roller to press the seam. There is also a demo. On youtube that shows the technique without using the foot. However, I find that it works well. You get value for money if you have more than one machine as there are attachments to suit more than one variety.
great looking product
I have the gizmo..never use it. Just pin at each end. I sew from the top down one inch. then the bottom one inch. sew from top to bottom! No HANG OVERS at all! Save your money for fab!! IMHO
If you don't work on it you'll never finish it.
I love Judy Niemeyer patterns, and a lot of them have curves and circles. I just completed Tropical Rainbow which has lots of curves and circles so I used a lot of pins doing it. After that experience, I decided to purchase the Curve Master for future projects. It arrived in the mail Saturday so I'm anxious to try it out!!
I can not copy and paste from my iPad, so here is how I do curves. On YouTube, Kaye wood has a video called "Melon block...." that shows an easy way to make curves meet up nicely for those of us who don't have this wonderful tool. Her method only uses 1 pin. If it works for me, it should be easy for you too.
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
That was a good video...here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYvaQ2wH6wU
