Curve Master Foot
I just ordered my curvemaster foot from Erica's for $23.99. I ordered one for my DIL too because you get free shipping on $39.00 or more. Also 1/2 off international shipping for all my friends across the way. This is the cheapest I could find on the Internet.

I bought one of these at a quilt show. I don't remember the price though. I used it to make a drunkard's path quilt blocks. It takes practice so do get discouraged.
|
I have that foot, but could never get the hang of using it.
|
I want to echo Bella Boo. It is so much better for sewing curves but don't expect you will be able to do it easily at first. Just practice on a few pieces and you will get comfortable with this in no time. I think it is am excellent tool.

I am interested in that. Once you get the hang of it, is it worth it?
|
Will have to check it out. Never heard of it!

I have one I bought last year at a quilt show. Never played with it until a couple of weeks ago and was having trouble getting it to work. I just saw a demo yesterday. I also was trying to do a really difficult block. I need to do an easier block to start. Maybe drunkards path. The person at the booth said there are video demos on line. I haven't looked yet.

Wish I could give you the links to the online videos. I watched them several times, put the foot on my machine, and wow! Great results! I had been stuggling for months with a DWR quilt and this tool helped me get it finished. Hope that anyone who invests in one also puts in the time of finding and watching the videos.

I just Googled curve master foot for sewing machine and got loads of videos and info
|
Tried the foot and hate it. Instead...for sewing DP blocks. I sew one in from top...sew one inch from bottom...then ease in the fullness and sew...WITHOUT PINNING THE DARN THING. I just pin the top and bottom. Works every time and blocks are straight across!
|
I also have one and could not get it to work right boo hoo
|
Sound's very interesting. Never heard of one.
|
I bought one this winter and like it. It does help with sewing the curses as the foot has the quarter inch guide. Another helpful hint when u r sewing curves is to hold the top piece of fabric up instead of trying to push it through on top of the bottom fabric. Try it, it makes a ton of difference.

I bought the foot and it does take time to learn how to use it properly. I'm not that patient! I found this link on Pinterest. I haven't tried it yet but when I get around to my apple core, I'm gonna try it!! http://quiltorstitch.blogspot.com/20...nstead-of.html
