First, let me say thank you for all your kind words about my work. I truly appreciate them.

I was asking that same question when I first started doing these. It takes a little practice but this is what I do.

I draw the circle on the background fabric and cut the small template out of freezer paper. Then I pin the template to the fabric I'm going to use and cut about 1/8" larger circle of fabric. I center it on the drawn circle and start turning under to match to the marking. I use a toothpick, moistened in my mouth to turn a tiny bit, make a stitch, turn a tiny bit more, make a stitch until I'm all the way around the circle. I usually sit and stitch them while watching tv with my DH in the evening. I can do about 10 and then I have to take a little break.

Try it. It works..... but you do need a little practice. My little berries are a lot better now that I've done a few.
