Stewyscrewy, I wasn't sure what she meant by keeping a finger between the fabric either until I just sat down and did 12 Drunkards Path blocks. It is a finger of your left hand. Seems like sometimes I had my index finger between the fabric and thumb on top and sometimes the opposite. I have about 150 DP blocks to go, so I'll probably have it figured out before long.
Brushandthimble and Gramalama9, did either of you have problems with the top or bottom fabric stretching out by the end as I did. If so, what did you do to correct it. I lost my receipt for the Curve Master and can't return it, so I would like to be able to use it without having to square up my blocks after sewing. |

1] Mark lightly the 2 half way points, remove your finger and then use the tweezers or your fingers to match those marks. or 2] Just remove you finger and sew til you get to the pin, remove the pin, and then resume sewing with your finger tween the fabric. Whichever way works for you is OK. Yes, I do have the curve master feet, and more ... but this seemed the easiest way for me. ali |

I had no stretching problems at all. I use the pin point tweezers to hold the upper and lower fabric together at the very end of the seam so there's no run off of the stitching. I does take some practice to be comfortable with it, but not much....after one or two tries, it's easy as pie....and so fast.
