I am hand appliquing an Edyta Sitar project using needle turn but plan to back baste the next block. She uses a lot of tiny circles. -- I'll await answers from the experienced.
Suz - For lots of my circles I use paper punches with card stock. I am the odd-ball that doesn't starch and iron them. I could burn my fingers. My circles get stitched around. Next pull the stitches and squeeze the edges instead of ironing. They are stored in a plastic bag under a book to keep them from popping back up. No washing out of starch either!! Am I lazy or what?
