As I was trying to figure out what I could use to create the lines, I came up with the idea of ric-rac. I have a piece of very large ric-rac that would provide the right size curves. I pinned the ric-rac to the quilt sandwich where I wanted the curved line.
I used my open-toed foot with a straight stitch and just followed along the edge of the ric-rac moving the fabric back and forth. I had to be careful to not catch the edge of the ric-rac or I would have to take the stitches out. Despite how close the needle looks in this picture, I was able to sew without catching any of the ric-rac edge.
And that is how I got my curved line. I will post the finished piece soon.

Ingenious! Some sewing machines (stitch #4 on Bernina) have a serpertine stitch where you can adjust the stitch length and width to get the desired curve. Then you just feed your quilt straight through the sewing machine (sometimes it helps to line up on a straight chalk line) and the needle moves within the stitch width of the foot. I've found this an easy and effective way to quickly quilt items.
So clever! That is a great idea.
I really like sewing because i can create every thing like a skirt, blouse, pants or dresses and desing my own style. When i am sewing i usually feel my imagination flies. I think i am appationated about this.
