I like to remove the paper--especially if i'm working on the curved sections. You just have to be careful that you don't stretch the fabric.

Same for the border?

Yes,IMHO, same for the border because if you don't remove the paper, you end up with a bunch of layers of fabric and paper, and that can distort the nice clean lines you have been working so hard to maintain! Also, it is more difficult to remove the paper when there are several layers.

Thank you! I will take the advice to iron well AND starch before removing the paper.

My teacher said to leave the edges of the blocks slightly undone on the border to inset the border (and to work the last arcs in with the border). Did you need to do this?

I appreciate any coaching you have time for.

I found this on the Just Curves website.

BERNINA users note: ALL Berninas will accept the Curve Master. A special metal Bernina shank adapter is required. You would have this if you have ever used a generic, or non-Bernina foot on your machine, or if you have the Bernina ruffler attachment. If you need one, it is available on the Just Curves website or from your Bernina dealer.

I have one and it works. Worth the money since you can use your use singer low shank feet with the adapter.

Take it off or it will be almost impossible to get off later.

Okay. It's official. I'm ordering a curve master foot. I love piecing curved things and that sounds like it will be much nicer :)
I'm so glad I read this thread!!
