I am starting a circle magic quilt, I bought the book and template from MSQC.. but I am having a hard time sewing a perfect circle... when I sew the circle and them turn my circle to the right side and press it, it does not look like a perfect circle it has flat place where I didn't get a good flow around when I was sewing..I am having trouble with the sewing part, is there anything that is out there or that someone had made that would be a guide for your machine that when you sewed the circle it would come out perfect or better without the flat side in places...Thanks

What a great gadget. I hadn't seen one before. Thanks for sharing.

do you mark the lines for the circle, then sew? slowly might help too. Good luck.

oh wow that is a great tool, I have never seen it used or even heard of it before

Another tip- use a short stitch length and trim the seam fairly close before turning right side out. I use a crochet hook with a fat head- maybe a G- and smooth the inside of the seam, then press before topstitching slowly.

I'm getting one! All there is toit!! I think Isaw where Nancy's notions used one.

I head or saw someone tape a tack on the machine or table depending how large a circle you want. Use the tack as the center and then sew away. Have not used this myself but when I need a circle I am going to try it.

This method works well if the tack is well anchored, and you let it pull the fabric around.

Looks like a great tool. I've never tried sewing circles. Good luck!
