Are you talking about the Curve Master foot? If it doesn't fit your machine, contact Sandy at Curve Master. I didn't think it would fit my machine either, but the foot came with several different "legs" so it will fit any machine I have, whether it be high-shank, low-shank, slanted, whatever. I met her at a show where I purchased mine, and she told me they make them for EVERY machine.

I recently tried my 'curve master' and it was relatively easy. Fitting the foot on the machine was more challenging. Please post when you get blocks done.

I got a Curvemaster foot, too, and made a Winding Ways quilt with it. I plan to make a Drunkard's Path soon as it really works well. I agree - very small learning "curve"!

I just used my 1/4 inch foot and sewed the DP blocks and they came out really well using Elisa Wilsons templates and instructions.

Love to see the pics as I have the curvemaster and have not used it! I'll be waiting to see your pics

I used my Curvemaster foot for the first time last summer when i made the "Once ina Blue Moon" quilt for my DDIL. Thanks again to this board for the name. The blocks were 7" blocks and i found i had to still pin some and use the CM foot.some blocks came out perfectly and some never did even after several tries. Maybe it was user error. I will use the foot again anyway, i still want to make a drunkards path quilt.

I bought it ages ago and it is very good. The part that I liked best was that the parts in the box are designed to fit many machines and so I got my money's worth as they can be used on 3 of my machines. Worth it if you can't or won't fiddle with curved seams. There is also a tweezer and a roller that goes with it, at extra cost, that make the job faster.

I'm not afraid of curved seams when sewing clothing or handbags but I'm completely intimidated to try it with quilt piecing. I'll have to check out the Curve Master foot!

Elisa Wilson's technique is wonderful - I have used it several times without the Curvemaster foot. I was very pleased with the results - and it is really simple to do.

Good luck
