I learned for my sanity when sewing small circles for projects, I sew the fabric circle to interfacing or fuse it, don't cut them out yet, and then use the machine stitch of choice to sew around the circle I may have to sew more then I need to end up with nice round ones. I then cut out sewn circles and glue baste them to the item and then hand sew them on the project.
Oh forgot to say when sewing larger circles I use the Fat Quarter Font method from Atkinson Designs. It's an old technique but I suggest buying the book to have clear understandable instructions. The book is old so should be found at 1/2 price by now somewhere. There maybe a youtube video showing the method. It's super easy.
