Was it an inserted circle under the top fabric (reverse appliqué) an appliqué circle or a pieced into a fabric square circle like Drunkard's path? If you cannot find a tutorial in the main tutorial section, you can look at older tutorials in the tutorial archive.

This question was just asked very recently. I believe it was a stickpin or thumbtack. If you type "sewing a perfect circle" into the search bar at the top of the page, it should take you to all the postings for that subject.

Not sure about a tutorial, but I believe I saw on Sewing With Nancy to take a thumb tack, push it thru masking tape from the "non sticky" side, then tape it to your machine bed. Position the fabric over the point of the thumb tack, and just sew. Not sure how well it works. Never tired it myself but it sounds doable. Hope someone comes up with a tute for you. Good luck.

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAKKxA5sH4A Not sure if you could adapt a regular ruler to be used like the one she is using, but you could try.
