I've never used it, but a friend did an apple core quilt with it and she loved it.

I really love this foot - if I had known that it worked as well as it did, I would have bought it a lot sooner.

Really fast Drunkard's Path blocks and NO PINNING!

I just bought one about a month ago. There is diffently a learning curve. But, once you have it, it works great.

I have had this for three years and still can't get it to work. Must be me she made it look easy and so did the salesman that I bought it from.

BUYER BEWARE!!!I have one and I own 2 Pfaffs it is such a disappointment. I watched the demo at a quilt show and was so impressed until.... The claim is that it will fit any machine- for some Berninas you have to buy an extra adapter. Well as it turns out, to make it work on one of my machines you have to remove part of the foot assembly every time you want to use it and on one older machine it rides so low after trying and trying all the adapters and emailing the curve people you can barely get the fabric under the feed dogs- have to drop them and wiggle. The curve people were basically of the mind that you bought it and it is a pain to install or get to work - too bad.

SO be very cautious- mine is a waste all around- for my specific machines. Anyone want to buy mine? Make me an offer.

it shows you the curve foot which could be used for any curves. Has anyone used this??? Does it work? They claim you do not have to use pins.

I have one I have used it several times and it is just like sewing a straight seam. You have to hold the material up slightly. That is the trick. Get it you will love it.

Hi,
I bought this foot and I haven't tried it for curves yet, but love it for giving me a scant 1/4 inch seam. works better than my 1/4 inch foot.

Have it. Used it twice. Found a better way...Sew 1 inch from the top, sew 1 inch on the bottom, and then sew from top stitche to bottom stitching. Have to sew slowly and make sure the top piece always matches to the back. Never have a problem with end matching!
