OK, sew this seam with the quarter circle on the bottom and the fan unit on top.. you need to be able to manipulate all that fullnes as you sew across the seam..

I also suggest if you have a needle down option on your machine, that you use it now..

If not, just make sure you always stop with the needle in the down position, as you are going to be moving the fabric around a bit...

make sure that the straight edges match when you place it into the machine..
and begin sewing.. stop after about 1/2 inch...

your goal, each time to you stop is to adjust the fullness in the fan ahead and behind the spot where you are going to sew, so that you have a flat space of an inch or so to sew the seam,

Sew a little more and adjust the fullness.. do this as often as necessary to get a nice flat seam..

you can release this as soon as you have started the seam..
