Hi Estyl,
I am almost certain this is some scaling issue. SU has problems with creating faces that would have as small edges as about 1 mm.
Before you run the follow me tool, scale your model (object) up by 10 (or sometimes even 100), do the follow me then scale it back.

Thank you Gaeus,that was exactly the problem. I scale it 100x and it worked

I would also recommend that you don't use the default number of segments(12) when you draw small arches such as these. 6 or even less are most often quite adequate to create the right impression, and you get a much smaller number of larger faces.

True, very true.
Also, if you make such round corners often, here is a useful plugin:
