Curve Master Presser Foot
Hi Guys,
Does anybody have the Curve Master presser foot? If you do, could you tell me if it works?.... there are so many gadgets I have bought that just don't do what they promise.... all your thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on a quilt right now, that I'm using the Curve Master foot. It works good. I have a hard time when I get to the end of the seam. But it usually ends in the right spot. My pieces are cut on the Accuquilt Studio, so they have a notch at the center points on both pieces. So I can tell if I'm pulling one fabric too hard. I did move my needle position to the right one bump, to get a scant 1/4" seam.

I considered getting this foot when I started making some quilts with curved pieces. I watched several videos. Some use 700 pins, some use a special foot and some just use a couple pins. I decided to try the 3 pin technique:

And found it very easy. I would do a couple of practice blocks and see how it goes before making the purchase. i really think that the biggest issue, however, is cutting accurately, either with a good acrylic template or die cutter.

I bought the Curve master feet at a quilt show and love it. Easy, peasy. No pinning. I even emailed the owner because I have different machines and she told me which piece to use with different machines.

I don't know about NYB, but I have used mine for several Drunkard's Path quilts and one Winding Ways. The Curve Master made the process more accurate without pinning and a lot faster. I always make a practice block first because it takes me some time to get into the rhythm. A nice sharp set of tweezers helps a lot, too. And sometimes I do pin at the beginning and end of a seam.
