Seeing what you are making, I would be tempted to straight stitch about an 1/8 in from the edge of the fabric circles and let it ravel out on both circles for the eyes and the same for the nose. Would make it look like lashes.
There are attachments that you can purchase for your machine to sew circles. I have also seen where someone used a thumbtack through a piece of tape, then taped to the bed of the machine so it is set up so the center of the circle is positioned on the pointed part of the tack and taped to the machines so the needle goes through the fabric an 1/8 in from the edge or what ever seam allowance you want. Hope this makes sense.
I must have been typing the same thing at the same time Tartan was.
