I am making an apple core quilt now and I agree with others. Pin the beginning, middle and end and sew a few stitches lift and separate. I just use my 1/4 in. foot.

I have one and it saved my sanity when making a DWR. However, I watched the You Tube about it several times before using it. No pins used. Fast compared to what I'd been doing with pins before. It's probably one of those things that you either love and use or don't.

I haven't done many curved seams, but when I did, I used the fused stabilizer method. I will definitely look into getting a Curve Master.

We must have seen the same video, I bought it but haven't used it yet either, I am still feeling intimidated by curvers.

I have heard about it and watched a video but really have no desire to buy another thing that I would probably not use.

Thanks

Saw saw a demo at the Des Moines quilt show today and Bernina machines require another foot adapter that has to be purchased from Bernina in order for it to fit. This would significantly increase the price if you are using a Bernina.
