thankyou! think i will get one!

I also saw one at a show and bought one - it is not easy to use at least it wasn't for me - it has a learning curve that takes time to master - I could get it to work well one time and then the next three I did stunk - I tried it on a drunkards path block - I ended up piecing it by hand.

The curve master is awesome. I used it right out of the box on a drunkards path. Didn't even need a tutorial. no pinning necessary.

Yes, there is a learning curve - your first block isn't not going to come out like the demonstrator's block (s/he's done hundreds of them, remember)

But it's not as difficult as learning free-motion quilting. Watch the video over and over until you can see what the hands are doing - coordinating the hand movement is the toughest part. Sew a block without thread a few times before you try making a block.

If you do 6-10 drunkard's path blocks, you should be comfortable and in another dozen or two, I'll bet you'll be zooming along.

If there is a tutorial I would like to know the site for the use of curve master. I have made several wedding ring quilts but would like to see how this works before I buy it. You can PM me or post it on here.

This is the Youtube video I watched to see how to use it:

If you Google Curve Master a lot of things will pop up. Then look for You Tube. Or type in You Tube Curve Master into your search engine. That ought to help you find demos. I'll try to find the one I watched and post it. My husband installed the foot and adapter on my machine. I tend to hurry and try to force things. The one I bought had all the adapters, so I can use it on my Pfaff and FW. It didn't seem to make a big difference in price and I like that I can use it both machines. Try this address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN6v3VEQEUI Also, I watched all the different videos I could find...it seems to work best when the fabric on the top is held vertically as much as possible to the bottom fabric.

It comes in either a 1/4" or a 5/8" seam allowance.

Whichever one you buy will have adapters for low shank, high, super high and slant shank. If you're sewing with a Bernina or a top-clamping or back clamping vintage, you'll have to switch machines.

Thanks for your post. I will be checking out this presser foot. I need all the help I can get.
