How about if your trying to sew a curve using zigzag stitches? Won’t they bunch up, I too am a dunce with curves. I will try just regular straight stitching first around circles and you will probably hear me yelling from my house to yours,I get so frustrated and if you could do a utube video it would help all of us understand it more.

Another way of saying what your pictures show is the fabric should meet the half inch guide mark where the needle is, about halfway between the front and back ends of the plate, not at the front of the plate. Is this right?

maybe one of you can help me.. It not so much curves i struggle with its the stitches in-between. This is quite hard to describe so the best thing i can do is use an example. So i tried sewing a flower place mat and when i came to stitching the front onto the back i have to follow the petal shape and i struggle with going from one petal then turning around and stitching the next petal. I hope this makes sense

Hi, I have been given a new machine for christmas and its meant to be an all singing dancing – but i’m struggling with just a basic curve as in my machine wont let me move the fabric round whilst sewing……its hell bent on just doing straight lines…… I know this isn’t what you are advising on……… but do you think you would know why? I can’t think for the life of me what i’m doing wrong!!!
