    I saw a good one somewhere for larger circles. (I know it's not needle turn, but it's a great tip!)

    You sew the circle onto a used dryer sheet or some other really thin material and turn it out then applique it onto your project.

    I wish I'd known this before piecing my Dresden Plates. I was basting and pulling threads around a plastic template made from a for sale sign

    This needs to be posted on the Affairs of the Heart thread.
    Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.

    Sew it onto the used dryer sheet pretty side down. Cut a slit in the dryer sheet and turn it inside out.

    I didn't get to do this on the circles for my Dresden Plate but it sounds like it would work great
