Easy to trace around, won't warp when pressed (within reason), and give a nice crisp edge to the circle. Worth the expense if you make circles A LOT.
Do you have a link or site name? Sounds interesting.I would need several but I could see how much they are. I like to do 10 or 12 at a time so may not work but it is worth looking into.

I was going to buy the cutter bookscrappers use to cut
circles but Walmart didn't have any when I looked and I haven't done anything more about looking for one.
I saw a show one time on Simply Quilts where this lady did a quilt with circles and this is what she used. Would be interesting to check out.
