:thumbup: I did read that folks making perfect applique circles (lots of bias!) used washers for templates and then started the circles a lot to hold the shape during applique. That makes a lot of sense.

And I love your quiltie weight-loss graphic. Way to go! :thumbup: :thumbup: (I should really give you 18 wee thumps-up!)
