Thanks so much for this tute. I am getting ready to do a small drunkards path for my Sylvia's bridal sampler and was very unsure of how to proceed. Now I know!!

Thanks for the great tutorial. Curved piecing is on my "to learn" list. Every year I have a short list of things I want to learn during the year, this is on the list for this year.

Your tutorial was clear and easy to understand. I bookmarked it so I can refresh my mind when I start that project.
Thank you.

Thank you so much. Have been trying to get up enough gumption to try curves.

I have tried these other ways, however this is the way that goes so smooth for me. I would say accurate cutting is the key and acrylic templates give us that. And from what I hear so do the "GO" cutters. I hope this helps all of you who have found this to be a huge struggle like I previously did.
There are 15 photos for this so please be patient while I load all of them.

Tammy - this is great! Thank you so much for doing this tute. Looks like you have helped others as well. I just love this Board :) {{{{HUGS}}}}}} Suebee

Thanks for the tutorial. I have the Go cutter and the drunkards path die, but have not tried it yet due to fear of curves. This makes it seem easy to do.

You are certainly welcome everyone! Glad I could help put fears to rest over the curved seams. It really is as easy as it looks. You will be whipping through them in not time.
