I agree with MaggieK about Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles. They are the BEST I used to use freezer paper, but, you still get wrinkles. You pull the gathering thread up tight and lightly starch and press, let cool and pop out the washer.

This is the method I use, but I leave the freezer paper in place while I applique the circle (or whatever shape I'm using). When I'm finished with the applique, I carefully cut a small slit in the base fabric under the applique and gently pull out the freezer paper. Then I slip stitch the slit closed. Leaving the freezer paper in place gives me a firm template for my tiny applique stitching. Works perfectly every time!
