i thought i was doing it that way. as i said originally, i tried it out at the show before i bought it. with the demonstrater standing right there, it worked just fine, hah! :evil:
once i got home.....no deal! of course that lady isn't here now to help me out.
also, on youtube when i was looking for this, i saw other ways to do it and they show the method without the special foot. i'm sorry i didn't see that first.
they do also show the satin edge foot and that seems to work the same way, but without the raised edge guide.

I also had the Curvemaster foot for a long time and did not like the results. When I had the opportunity, I took a class from Sandra Chandler and "got the hang of it". I completed a dresden plate (25 blocks) in 3 weeks. I was very happy with it!. The trick is to use tweezers!!!

is there a seam extension on every one of those curves? or is it applique?
in other words, is every petal curemastered onto it's own little wedge and then they're all pieced together?

Yes butterflywing, everything is seamed...no applique and you have the right idea. Imagine a line exteding from each petal. That is the shapes that are seamed together. I bought templates to cut each "section" when I took the class. When I started it took over an hr to piece each block, minus the center circle. I got into a "rhythm" and was able to do one block in 45 minutes, minus the center circle. I pieced those all in last.

i also pinned and sewed without problems, but i thought the curve master would be faster. HAH!
