I didn't realize Olfa has more than one circle cutter. I have this one and it works wonderfully. I cut a yard of fabric into 5" circles in less than 10 mins! http://www.createforless.com/Olfa+Ro...utm_medium=cse
Normally I don't buy gadgets, but I need a lot of them, so I decided to give this one a try. Seems easier than the rulers for circle cutting. At least, that's what I am hoping for.

a long time ago I purchased a set of different sized templates that you can cut with the small rotary cutter;
don't remember where I purchased them or from whom, sorry. I use them a lot for yo yo's.
I have also used old CD's, cups, saucers, plates or made my own with cardboard boxes and freezer paper
glued on top with the size they are...and used the small cutter on them and it works.

Normally I agree with you. You don't need all these gadgets. See my answer on #21. However, I had to purchase a new compass anyways. I only paid #13.80 for my circle cutter. The prices seem to be all over the place, so you really need to search for the best price.

I also have the circle cutter that auntpiggylpn has. I love it. I have a little trouble cutting the smaller circles. If I need them bigger than the cutter goes I dismantle it and tape a stick to it and then tape the parts back together. Works very well. I needed tons of paper circles and did them this way. I save my dull and nicked blades to cut paper etc.

I have most of the Clover YoYo Tools including the Oval and Butterfly shapes and with all of them I cut a squares or rectangle slightly larger than I need, place it in the tool, hold it with the sewing side up, fold the fabric out over the sides of the tool then use the side of the tool as a quide for the scissors to cut around the circle, this usually gives me plenty of turn under to complete the process, unless I use a satin or organza which frays a lot, on these I will cut the circle bigger. I don't think I would have ever made YoYo's the old fashion way, but with the Clover Tools I probably have made hundreds, the variety of different Christmas Decorations I can make has astonished even me, sorry I have no pictures, they sell as quick as I can make them. Specialty tools are not my thing, if I can use something I already have around the house I use that, I would rather spend my money on fabric.
