Purchase them a Staples, 1 pack will last you a lifetime, they are usually used to reinforce loose leaf pages.

Put the circle on the wrong side of the fabric, it will stick, then place the fabric on the background, pin through the small hole in the center to keep it in place.

Clip every 1/8" around the circle to within 2 or 3 threads of the paper and you will find that it turns under easily. Take very fine and close stitches around and you will have a perfect circle.

You can stuff the berries if you want dimension, simply cut a piece of batting, smaller than the circle size and put it under the motif and then stitch.

Hope this helps
Okay I'm sure this is really dumb. But do you remove the hole reinforcements?
