I use a thumb tack taped to bed of sewing machine then find center of circle and put it down on tack then sew the 1/4 in. seam you have to adjust the tack to the right spot to get 1/4 in. seam then just sew and it will turn with you guidance and sewing. I use used dryer sheets for backing then slit the dryer sheet and turn right side out. Clear as mud hey.
