I’ve been reading about the curvemaster presser foot for sewing curves for a few months now and decided to give it a shot since I’m working on a quilt that is pretty much all curves. It did take some time to figure out how to assemble the various adapters for my machine and it doesn’t really come with much instruction. I found the videos helped a little but there just isn’t a lot of information out there about the foot itself, it all focuses on how to sew with it. Once assembled it’s angled a bit when your presser foot is raised but when you lower it the foot moves into position. At first I thought I had t move my needle position way to the left but it was centered after the foot was lowered.

In the photo I have one block done with a regular 1/4″ foot and loads of pins and the other block is my first attempt with the curvemaster. It takes a little  practice but this is really not a bad first attempt. I do think the seam is a little too narrow so that the block doesn’t sit flat and you get a big roll in your seam so that you’ll need fairly close quilting to keep everything in place. I might just quilt it by doing top stitching along the edges of the “petals” where that roll occurs.
