It's funny you should bring this up. I just saw the Curve Master on Massdrop at a 50% discount. Massdrop is a "group buy" site and the more who commit to order, the lower the price can be. They have reached the lowest price on this drop, and it ends in a few days. They will then order from the supplier, and send out orders when they are received.

Massdrop has a good price for it - I got mine on Amazon for about $20 a year or so ago. I have used it and like it a lot. Really only takes a little practive to get the hang of it.

Yes, I bought a thread holder from Superior from them and love it. They do what they say and the prices and dates are accurate with no shipping. I ordered my curvemaster yesterday. They have a GREAT deal on the Sew Steady extension table that may expire today or yesterday. I highly recommend them!

I have a curve foot and love it, You just gentle pull the top fabric up a little bit and let the foot do the rest. I have purchases several things from Massdrop. They have been wonderful. And it has always been what they say, they only charge your credit card when they place the order. I ordered an iron and they didn't get it right away, so they gave me $10 back on my credit card because the order was late coming in.

I used the Curve Master foot on a Viking Sapphire machine. It worked well and I made 90 Rob Peter to Pay Paul blocks. The speed of sewing increased with my number of blocks. It was kind of fun actually!

I don't have the foot, but do a lot of curved piecing with my 1/4" foot. I always think pie al amoad (sp?) with the pie on the bottom and the ice cream on top. Put the "outie" curve on the bottom and the "innie" on the top. As someone else mentioned here, pin the ends and the middle and sew. The more you sew, the more confident you become and the faster you can go. Depending on how big the curve and how big the pieces, I might use a long pin or stiletto to ease the top piece into place during stitching. Hope this helps a little.

I have one. It works great. Found it on sale at a LQS from owner who didn't know why it was in their inventory. She hadn't used one and was not interested in trying it.

I love the Curve Master foot. My first one broke when I stepped on it so I bought 3 more "just in case". Once I got the hang of it I could piece all the blocks for a twin sized Drunkard's Path in one afternoon (having cut everything the previous day). It has become my go-to block when I need something quickly.

Do you have to have a certain piece on top? (like outward curve or inward curve?) Because, if you do, joining 2 rows of apple cores would be pretty hard!
