I bought mine here:

It had the lowest price but if you think you will return it, don't buy it there because the site has a high re stocking fee.

I too have seen the demonstration but I ask myself, why do you need it? I have no trouble with curved seams, at least for a double wedding ring pattern or 8 inch circles. I usually pin the middle and each end, then one pin midpoint between the middle and end. I usually but the curve that needs to stretch the most on the bottom. Then slowly proceed. I hope this will be less frustrating than using the fancy foot.

that's about the way i always did it, and the way i will probably end up doing it again.
i bought it thinking it would really speed things up and let me chain the curves (after all, the demonstrator did it!) and, in fact, before i bought it, i used it at the booth and it was very, very easy. of course, she was there giving me personalized instructions the whole time.
now that i own it, i don't want it to beat me!!! :evil: :evil:

Thank you. The Curvemaster does not come here every time (Denver), but does come often. Usually it is just a demo at her vendor space. This was the first time that she actually gave a class. Or at least, it is the first time I was aware of it. If she is not giving a class just ask her to let you sit down at her machine and have her "show" you until you get it. She's real nice.

it wasn't a real class. she just let me drive it around for a while under her watchful eye. she was petrified that i would sew myself to the table and sue her.
but i did get the feeling of it and thought WOW! how fast and easy.
i'm sure that if i commit enough unbroken time to practice, i would get it. but who can get that kind of time?

I stood behind her so I could see (in the proper position) what she was doing, then I sat in her chair and had her watch me and tell me what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong. When I got home I completed my "test" block to ingrain it in my memory....now I hope I will remember what I did next time I use it...haha...who knows when that will be.
