Curved & circle shaped foundation piecing

This week I've read a couple of pieces that referred to full circle and free-form curved designs pieced on a foundation. Is the foundation paper or fabric? Is it necessary to use less than 1/4" seams? Do you need to make little snips to get the fabric to lay straight (or sort of a flattened curve)? I may not even have a clue what I'm talking about; could anyone enlighten me? Am I on the right track? Sounds like a good skill to have. Thank you. Harriet

  1. Harriet, I have used the method shown on Simply Quilts. You can go to hgtv.com and type in 'Dale Fleming' or 'pieced curves so simple' and you will find some directions. Or try this URL: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_quilting_instructions/article/0,,HGTV_3302_4302936,00.html Bunny

  2. Printed out the directions and gave it a try this afternoon. Not as fast as the instructions suggested --but good enough for the first try to want to try it again. Thank you for the web address. Harriet
