It worked!!!! I am so happy because I have always loved drunkard's path blocks but hated the thought of all that pinning. My practice piece was with some fabric from the scrap bin which weren't even the same weight and it still worked. Thank you for making and sharing this video it truly has taken the mystique out of curved piecing!Cut&Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513430347949305435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-2268856433963235372015-09-27T21:15:11.523-06:002015-09-27T21:15:11.523-06:00Great article!

We did an article on Drunkard’s Path Piecing and like you said the key is taking it slow and easy and using a stiletto to help move the fabric under the needle.

This method works better for me than the pin in the middle method. I have a question around ironing though. My quilt has a dark grey background and lighter colour melons. Would you still iron into the melons or iron out to the darker fabric?Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-72303456290838838182014-09-04T22:22:14.484-06:002014-09-04T22:22:14.484-06:00Thank you so much for this tutorial!

I made my first DP and thought it was going to be tough but it was very easy and quick with just the one pin. I have also made a Deco Fan that was easy and enjoyable (quilting is supposed to be a pleasurable pastime after all). My big challenge is going to be a Winding Ways, I've done a couple of samples that are OK but could be better - I eliminated one seam from the centre and it works much better that way..Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471952570905566747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-29054076463441657502014-07-20T14:33:08.905-06:002014-07-20T14:33:08.905-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471952570905566747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-81055658095415911112014-05-02T12:05:57.012-06:002014-05-02T12:05:57.012-06:00How'd I miss this one?

The only thing I do differently because I learned it in a class is to put in one pin at the very end with the pin point facing in toward the piece and taking two tiny bites of the fabric right on the sewing line, then swing the curved piece up to start the sewing. My fingers on my left hand are between the two pieces guiding the bottom piece and my right had guides the curve, just as you show. Having the end pinned means I don't stop, I just guide it under and then put one finger on the pin as the piece goes under the needle so that the pin slides out as I sew.janequiltsslowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079952744650435885noreply@blogger.com
