It is essential, though, to hold the left (top) piece up. Maybe there's a YouTube that may help you?
This is exactly how I do it, and it works beautifully. I agree, you don't need the Curve Master. It's the same technique the inventor of the Curve Master teaches to use her product, but you can achieve the same results with your regular foot.

I also agree with this. Years ago I started an apple core quilt, the pieces went together just fine but I ran into major problems when I started to assemble the rows. Went online and researched, found that concave on bottom worked beautifully. But when I realized I would have to either assemble the rows by hand, or, if sewing by machine, take the quilt out of my machine and flip it after every block, I wadded it up and tossed it in a corner.
