The easiest way I found was to use the water soluble two sided 1/4" Wonder Tape. Tear off a piece the size you need, clip one side so it will curve and then put the two curved fabrics together. I get perfect matched curves every time. Here is a description of the tape and pic: http://www.createforless.com/collins...d/pid7520.aspx

It's a great tute and basically the way I do curved seams. I don't do the snipped points, just match up the finger press fold lines. Depending on the length of the seams, I may finger press ad the 1/4 marks as well. Also, may pin at more than the five points shown in the tute.

Go slow when you sew! If you are pinning your fabric, don't sew over them, it makes the foot jump and the fabric move. Hope this helps a little. Also watch the tute!
peace :D

Now I see the tute says leave the pins in, I take them out just before I sew that spot. I'll try it the tute way and see if I'm more sucsessful. I love doing curves and anything that helps is icing. The tute sample is perfect!

here's a sample of my curved piecing challenge

I don't clip into the seam as it isn't needed. Another tutorial, written only without pictures, is under curved seams on the tutorial section of the QB.

There are many ways to do curved seams. You just have to learn which one you do best.
