No help with winding road but when I did drunken path I pinned in this order. First find the centre of seam then pin two ends now ease the sections between without moving the first 3 pins. Did a great job became easier over time. Sorry no picture as I gave it away.

This is a Winding Ways pieced on my Pfaff using a water soluble glue stick. Just a touch at the beginning and end of the seams. A walking foot might help. I didn't have any problems matching the pieces. It may take a few blocks to get the hang of it but keep trying. [ATTACH=CONFIG]545712[/ATTACH]

Thank you so much for all of the help. I am heading off to my sewing machine with new ideas to try and lots of pins and a glue stick too.
Felinefanatic I have a quarter inch foot with a flange (pfaff machines) that looks like the curve master foot. I did try it with my DWR but those handy little centre marks on the go cutter pieces seemed to catch a bit and twist. I decided that the regular quarter inch foot was less trouble. If I had cut the pieces with a template though I think that foot might work well, I had forgotten that I had it. I am working from a layer cake and had planned on making a wall quilt so I have enough fabric for extra blocks. I will remember to not use my favorite fabrics first though. Paperprincess your quilts are just lovely and are just the inspiration that I needed to head back to the machine and try some more. kristakzI am looking forward to seeing your quilt. I will check out your blog in hopes of a look at your progress. Thank you for the backporchdesign links. I had watched those when I stated my NYB but hadn't thought to watch them again. Dogwood quilter that is a beautiful quilt. it has enough contrast to show those circles off but feels so peaceful too. Thanks for the encouragement. |
If you need more help, just wanted to let you know that Ann Peterson has a class on Craftsy called "Playing with Curves". In the class, she makes a winding ways quilt and demos it quite nicely.

Good grief, I had forgotten that I had watched that. I will review it as well. Thanks Mom :-)

Dogwood, I love your winding way. Mine is starting to come together. Here's a picture of where I am now. So far so good, and the 3 pins and going slow is working well for me.

Looking good, kristakz. By the way, mine was cut with templates from Marti Mitchell. Easy to rotary cut with a 28mm rotary cutter. Good luck, coffeecozy you can do it.

I have this pattern and a plan to do it with scrappy Batiks. Thanks for all the suggestions. The die cut method sounds awesome if I can find someone who'll let me use theirs.
