4. on wrong side, I cut a small slit ( careful not to cut the desired fabric
5. clip edges
6. birth circle thru slit
7. press right side of fabric
8. applique or whip stitch to desired area

Nice round edges....

I made an entire quilt using this method
I make my circles this way as well, the thinner the back fabric, the easier it seems to be.
I have made reversable quilts with this method


* I had problems making circles too, before I learned this method. The circle would look great, until I stitched it, no matter how careful I was. I made almost all of my circles this way now..*
