You can also use a flathead thumb tack and eraser. Turn the lapel pin upside down, point up, and tape the pin so the point is a RADIUS distance from the needle. Place the CENTER of your circle over the pin point and push thru the fabric. Use the lapel pin clamp or for a thumbtack use an eraser. The. Sew any straight or decorative stitch. Gently guide the fabric and voila a perfect circle. See photos. I hope after this newsy reply that this is what you were asking. Lol
This is ingenious!
