circle magic quilt

Did you clip the seam of the curve? On an outside curve, you my need to take out tiny triangles for it to lay flat and keep the curve. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?...&hsimp=yhs-001

I use the Pellon SF101 woven interfacing for almost all my projects. I have the circle attachment for my Bernina and wasn't really happy with it, but will try again with interfaced fabric.
I also recommend sewing slowly, trimming the seams with pinking shears, and running a blunt tool around the edge after you have turned the circle right-side out. I use the rounded handle of my white Clover seam ripper.

I am starting a circle magic quilt, I bought the book and template from MSQC.. but I am having a hard time sewing a perfect circle... when I sew the circle and them turn my circle to the right side and press it, it does not look like a perfect circle it has flat place where I didn't get a good flow around when I was sewing..I am having trouble with the sewing part, is there anything that is out there or that someone had made that would be a guide for your machine that when you sewed the circle it would come out perfect or better without the flat side in places...Thanks

What GEMRM said: Invert a thumbtack and placte whatever distance you want away from the presser foot. Tape it down. Press your fabric over the tack head and start sewing. The tack will hold the fabric and the presser foot will sew in a circle. I also saw it on line somewhere. I'll see if I can find it again and post the link. Try this. Cheap and effective.
