For example I have some super thin flimsy see thru fabric that i would not trust in a block, however I used my go circle die cutter.. layed right side (good fab) to right side (icky fab) and cut.. i sewed all the way around the edge- 1/4 inch... and slit a hole in the icky fabric and 'birthed' the circle.. Now i have a clean edge to applique..
I was very interested in this post as I have to put circles on my batik top when it is finished. I did not want to do raw edge applique so this "birthing" method sounds like it will work better on this modern quilt pattern.
