If you are trying to make chennille, there are easier ways to do it.
I don't know if this refers to #23 and #30 but I simply cut out the curve I wanted and then laid it over the next piece so that the curved piece was all onto the next piece, sewed and then cut the seam down to a reasonable (about 1/4") amount. Everything laid flat that way with no great manipulations. Simple (I'm simple) but very easy. The only negative is it leaves scraps, but I tend to find uses for those, so I'm cool. It is fast and sure!

I know the quilt is really colorful and loud, but so are my sister's paintings. It is the WAY I did it I'm trying to explain.
