I have found that I get better circles if I draw them, sew slowly, and then cut around them. Slowing down the machine makes it easier to follow the line. If I am sewing a shape in a square, I cut the shape from freezer paper, then iron it to the surface, and sew around the edge, then pull the freezer paper off and reposition it for the next spot. Works for me.
