I always used to look at quilts with perfect circles and wonder how they achieved the perfect symmetry and accuracy with their circles.
At my sewing class I learned a little trick of the trade for sewing circles. Cut a cardboard template the size you want the finished circle. Cut a piece of fabric larger than the template to include the seam allowance.
Cover the cardboard template with the fabric and cover with a piece of tin foil over the fabric and template and iron. This creates the perfect circle seams so you can then applique down circular seams. Who knew? Apparently a lot of people but not me!
