The first pin to match the center point of the curve on each piece and one for each end. More than likely I would insert two more pins at the half way point between center and edge.

Some people have the curve master foot for their machine and I have seen it demo'ed at many shows and they don't use any pins. In order to use this foot on my Bernina I would have to buy a special adapter to fit my shank which drove the price of the product up quite a lot and quite honestly I don't mind pinning and I get good results with pinning.

If I were you, I would try a few units with pins and see if your results aren't more to your satisfaction.
i have done Winding Ways with a Curvemaster and NO problem. Easy, peezy.i have a newer Bernina and the foot I needed was included in the kit. I also got a Pfaff Passport to take to classes and emailed Sandra Chandler and the foot I needed to use with that was in the kit also. Check out her site and YouTube video. I highly recommend it.
