Or like the diameter? There are two curved seams on the block the first is a 3.5" diameter (1.75 radius), so it's small, and the second finished seam ends up being a 7" diameter (3.5" radius).
Is that what you are asking? They are definitely smaller, and I have sewn large curves before without a problem so I'm sure that had something to do with it.
I agree with Claire and Beth. Pinning is how I've seen the most accurate seams, it's just very time consuming, and I have a cheap machine so every time I stop there's a little janky part that goes all crooked. (There isn't a needle down option)
I also don't want to turn people off because it seems so exhaustive.
