FAQs

What machines does it fit? Will it fit a Pfaff? Featherweight? a Bernina? Viking or Viking/Husqvarna? Janome? Brother 1500? 1300? Juki 98Q?	We have never met a machine it doesn’t adapter to! See the Guide on this website for specifics.
What are all these feet in the box? Which adapter goes with what machine?	There is one snap-on presser foot (the piece with the wire) and six adapters to fit the standard machine shanks for different types of machines. See the Adapter Guide portion of this website.
Why are there so many pieces in the box?	There is the snap-on foot and 6 adapters to fit all different types of machines. We knew a lot of quilters & sewers have more than one type of machine, and we didn’t want you to have to buy different feet for each. This way, one kit will fit all your machines even if you add a machine in the future. For shop owners this means they do not have to carry a large inventory for each different machine or guess how many of which to order.
I don't need all the adapters. Can I just buy what I need and pay less?	The variety of adapters allows you to add a machine later without having to repurchase a new foot for it. This also allows you to take a class at a shop and use their machine, and your foot will fit it. Or you can share it with a friend and it will fit their machine. Actually, the cost of labor to individually pack the adapters and the cost of printing different packaging would increase the cost of the kit, so getting all adapters is the less expensive option!
I get puckers and pleats when I sew a curve. What am I doing wrong?	The number one cause is putting the two fabrics together as you sew. KEEP THE TWO FABRICS SEPARATED AS YOU SEW. Keep the top fabric up in the air, do not lower it to touch the bottom fabric. Just be sure both fabrics touch the seam guide as you sew.
The bottom edge always ends up short on one piece of fabric. What am I doing wrong?	If it is 1/16-1/8” off, it is probably because of putting the fabrics together rather than keeping them separate as you sew. Or it is because of stretching one piece more than another. Relax the pressure with wich you are holding the fabric as it sews, and keep the top up in the air. If it is about 3/8 -1/2” off, it is most probably because of miscutting the fabrics. You cannot cut out a piece and sew it back into the same fabric as this does not include the seam allowance and you will always end up short. You must use templates which include a seam allowance and the outer curve will appear larger than the inner curve. (But the sewing lines are the same.)
The fabric does not sew. It scrunches up and pulls. What am I doing wrong?	Two possible reasons: 1) The seam guide is the raised “wall” about ¼” from the needle hole. If the fabric is placed under this wall, under the wider portion of the Curve Master to the right of the seam guide, it will bunch up and not sew. So you cannot sew wider than ¼” seam, nor appliqué or topstitch, with the Curve Master. (There is a 5/8” Curve Master available.) 2) The downward pressure of your machine on the presser foot is too tight. Make the adjustment to decrease the downward pressure per your machine instructions.
Must I use the Just Curves templates? Can I use another designer’s templates and patterns with the Curve Master?	You can use ANY templates and patterns that are accurate. Just do not follow their instructions about pinning and clipping the curves, or putting the fabrics together as you sew. Use the Curve Master Presser Foot instructions for sewing with their patterns and you will get fast results. In fact, in addition to the Just Curves templates, we have tested and sell the Creative Curves, Virginia Walton, Marti Michell, Come Quilt With Me, Kathie Alyce Waterfall and S curve, John Flynn, Cheryl Phillips and other designers products.
