So glad you gals posted on this! I bought one and have not used it yet.
If one of you would like to write a tutorial on it I would be most appreciative. It would make it easier to learn.

I wish I could find my curvemaster foot, (never used). I saw it just a couple weeks ago, but naturally, when you are looking for something, it's no where to be found.

A while back I posted a link where it shows how to sew curves without a special foot and without any pinning.

You could use the technique with any foot, but the foot was part of the class and having some hands on help with the technique was certainly helpful. And I am a gadget junkie!

Thanks for reminding about this.

I bought one at a quilt show, but have never used it because it was so long since the demo. Thanks for the video reference. I will get it out and try it----just after I get this baby quilt finished.

Kathy, it's just a presser foot that helps the two oppisit curves go together smoothly, any curved pieces cut in any fashion

I have the foot that I bought at one of the quilt shows. When I finally got around to trying it, the one end of the circle didn't meet. I sent a picture to Sandy (I think that is her name). She said I needed specific templates. I bought them and now I love the foot.

that's really odd, I didn't know anything about templates, LOL, I just used a drawn pattern for mine. I wonder what the templates have to do with it.
