Can you post a pic of the block, would be easier to help you.

When I sew curves, I pin the 2 edges, & 1 pin in the middle(finger press each piece to determine). Place the outside cut curved edge to the feed dogs, helps to ease in the curve. Sew slowly easing as you go, it will ease itself into place.

Hi, Patricia our Moderator,found this and posted it... If this is the same block.. I made one and didn't have that hard of time doing it... Just pin and go slow it eases itself right in. Good Luck This is one I am doing in the near future. BillsBonBon this is the link i think to the one I made. BillsBonBon

thanks for the help, I will continue to try and sew these arcs and maybe not overthink the process too much
