Has anyone seen and/or used the new "stubby" presser foot? It was demonstrated at the quilt show and is also in Nancy Zimmers new catalog. No need to pin curves when piecing! She made it look super easy, but its $30.00. So I'd like to know if anyone has tried it. The shortness of the foot itself is suppose to make going around curves a snap, but maybe she practiced for 10 years (LOL) before she started demonstrating it.

i didn't see that one but i saw her use a curve master foot to do a double wedding ring and you dont pin those curves, however it cost be 47 bucks! didn't buy it from her, just googled curve master. haven't tried it yet eitherbut i sure hope that sucker works well lol
it's plastic and has about 6-7 different shanks so it will fit on almost any machine.

It sounds like the same thing I saw in Hampton Va. She made a big deal over throwing in these special tweezers to grip the pieces with, but its all inclusive in the Nancy Notions catalog for 29.95 I think it was.

I think I'll stick to pins.

ok ... silly pun ... but appropriate, don'tcha think?
:mrgreen:

Aren't you the clever one :D

she's just too much! oh yeah i got the tweezers too

Maybe Patrice could borrow the tweezers to pull all the pins out of hers :!: :D

she aint getting mine :twisted:

don't need 'em. i have eyebrows, so of course i already have tweezers.

Hi, I have tryed the curve master presser foot. I does work, and the bent tip tweezers are great help I would not try to use it without them. Regular straight tweezers aren't very helpful .I have also found another method fpr piecing curves taught by Nancy Elliott MacDonald in her book Winding Ways Quilts. The way she teaches I don't even use the curvemaster anymore. It depends a lot on how you cut your fabric and which piece goes next to the presser foot when you sew. I have taught beginers this method and even they can sew curved pieces with a little practice.

I appreciate the info.

The tweezers that came with my serger are bent tipped. Check the tweezers you have from your serger equipment.

Bet they will work. Suz
