Sounds like just another gimmick to make us spend money. I started doing that one purse project with the curved top on it. Tried it last night and yes I am scared of curves too. But she mentioned the simplest way to work at it.
The purse is here: http://sweetbeebuzzings.blogspot.com...-part-one.html
First, GO SLOW.
Second, Lay the piece down on a flat surface and pin each area as you fit it together like a puzzle piece. This made all the difference for me.

It may not be perfect, but for someone who is skeered of curves too, I think it is pretty good.

I just took a class with Teresa Hodgson at the Empty Spools Seminar. She is great. There were 16 in the class and we all loved it. She has a website where you can see some of her wonderful quilts. She knows all the tricky details that make sewing curves (even tight ones) easy. I am now finishing my quilt at home and it is a lot of fun. Her web site is http://www.spiralt.com/quilts.html But the photos don't show how luminous her quilts really are.

I met her at a show where I purchased mine, and she told me they make them for EVERY machine.

Hi. Sandy, inventor of the Curve Master, here. Do not pin, as that actually interferes with the success of the foot. Please check out the tutorial on my website at http://www.justcurves.biz. I will be glad to answer any questions or assist with problems if you will contact me via the website. Thanks!

Hello, Sandy the inventor of the Curve Master here. We have never met a machine it won't adapt to fit! I don't know what "3 machines" someone said the Curve Master won't fit, but I never have said that. Bernina machines need an additional metal Bernina shank that accepts generic feet, and that is the only additional item anyone would need, as the foot clips onto most machines and comes packaged with 6 shank adapters for low, high, slant needle, super high, and other shank requirements! Please go to http://www.justcurves.biz for other answers and tutorial, or email me. Thanks!
