That was the process in a recent tut I watched from Missouri Star. :thumbup:

Ditto, this is the way my grandma taught me. Works well.:)

make the circle template out of a no melt plastic and stritz the edges with starch and iron over the edges.
Perfect circles every time. What size are your circles.

I make my own templates out of heavy cardstock and a protractor...so I can iron on them. After cutting out the circle, I use the largest stitch on my machine and stitch around the outside, back stitching at one end...then lay the template on the circle, pull the thread and the edges pull tight around the template so you can iron a nice sharp edge.

me too, They come out perfect.

[quote=CoriAmD]I use a circle template to trace onto interfacing, then sew this (right sides together) to the fabric I want for the center. Trim around with pinking shears to about 1/8" .. Cut small slit in interfacing and turn. Press well. ]
Ditto to this post. I also sometimes save used dryer sheets instead of interfacing. I use this method for Dresden centers and for Buggy Wheels, too. For Buggy Wheels centers I make a 4 patch first then cut my circle from that so it has 4 pie shaped pieces for a more scrappy look.

I have a fabric circle cutter from Olfa. I loooooove it!!! I use it to cut the circles for my yo-yos

I agree and they look so pretty, this is just one of the blocks on my Dresden plate quilt. IMO http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/48...500x500Q85.jpg

I attach them by machine sewing them on before pulling the threads.

I have one too....It's the greatest ....you can cut muti layers of fabric.....found it by accident at a quilt expo....so glad I did...

I too use the used dryer sheet method for doing circles and simple shapes. I machine stitch the shape, trim with my pinking sheers, cut a slit in the dryer sheet, turn right side out and press with the iron.
