    I have never used a curvemaster so I cannot give you any advice. I avoid curves where ever possible!!!

    Your fabric combination is really nice and I think will make a great quilt.

    Good luck!!

    That looks like a mock cathedral window. There are other methods to do that pattern which do not require melons and elaborate curved piecing.

    Thanks... :oops: to all of you
    I spent the whole day today trying to figure it out I I believe I am making some progress...the last one looks really better...I don't use pins and it goes fast...I believe this foot realize that I won't give up on it so it better start working.....
    Its not an easy project but it won't be too big either...The instructions mentions finishing it by the applique method in order to attach it to the border
    ..... :( :( :( :(

    I was seriously thinking of buying a curvemaster when I had to do a curved seam block for my RR strip with my Guild group. When I mentioned it to one of the other ladies she told me "Tisha don't go
    wasting your money just make your seam allowance smaller e.g: 1/8inch instead of the usual 1/4inch."
    I've not tried this technique yet as I had already made my strip using a standard 1/4inch foot & just clipped the seams where necessary.
    I think there is a tutorial on Quilters TV somewhere for the Curvemaster - wishing you good luck. :wink:

    I have and used the curvemaster and found it does takes practice, but once you get the hang of it, it is simply wonderful. I used it for drunked path. I even use it on my featherweight.
