Ok I marked out 2 3" circles. I cut them both out. The second one I didn't cut exactly on the circle. I rough cut it.
The left one I turned under the edge 1/4" and ran a basting thread through it. On the right one I didn't choose to turn the edge. A step and time saved. I ran a basting thread around the edge. ( When you know you are going to trim it later why bother? tho you could do the extra step if you like)
The left one I drew up to close the circle. The right one I drew up to close the circle.
I turned the left one over and I turned the right one over.
I chose not to use the template on the right one as it really doesn't have anything to do with the process. It is an extra step added to attain a better circle. As is the sizing and the ironing.
So take a look. Are they both a yoyo?
So bottom line. I chose to skip the step of folding over the edge. Does that make the right one not a yoyo? It looks the same. You could do the step if you want but that defeats the purpose of the cut down method. It takes time you don't need to do when using my "yoyos" for making the DP blocks.
