    It fits most machines. Berninas may require an adapter and according to another user, some Pfaff's don't like them either. If you have a standard low shank, high shank or slant shank machine, there is an adapter for it in the set.

    I learned how to do this block with a vintage quilting foot (the kind that was used on the old machines) and it was fine after a little practice.

    Where the Curvemaster foot really speeds things up is in keeping the seam allowance aligned at 1/4" with the guide on the right side of the foot. I can sew a lot faster and have much better control of the seam allowance than I was doing without it. (I wish I had some magic attachment that would now sew all those Drunkard's Path blocks together for me! ;) )

    I saw this demonstrated at a quilt show and it is on my list to buy for the new year. It really looks great and I want to made a drunkards path quilt next year.

    If I remember correctly, it is in the $30's. I think I'll put that on my list for next year.

    I think I paid $35 at the quilt show. I really need to try it out in the new year. DH found a pattern that use of the Curve Foot was recommended that he really liked, and got that too. Hey! I know! I will plan that for his Christmas present for next year.... :thumbup:

    Clotilde's had it for $29.99. I got mine from Nancy's Notions for $10 less. Read through this thread to find the posting about paying $8.00.

    I love mine!!! They do make it look sooo easy at the shows because they have done it so much. Practice a little, hold the top fabric up as you sew and use tweezers at the end. So worth not having to pin!!
