Raw edge applique circles?
How do you make a perfect circle when doing raw edge applique? My cirlces look a little wonky. They are about the size of a dime and penny. Any suggestions?

Olfa circle cutter!
|
starch the fabric heavily before cutting to prevent the circles from stretching on the bias
|
I'd use Wonder Under and fuse them to the quilt, then stitch over them. They won't move or get wonky.
|
I wish I could help, I'm having similar issues getting my small curved edges to look nice and smooth. I can say that the more I do, the better they get - so I'm guessing the answer is "practice".

I use my thimble as a template. Works for me.

I would agree, starch and lite heat and bond....I recently made a quilt with fish and had to add bubbles.... when I appliqued them I really had to shorten my stitch and take my time, sometimes turning every stitch to make a perfect circle......but it can be done.....just not quickly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:thumbup:

Lots of good advice thanks
|
I do the same thing, heat n bond lite and stitch around the edges.
