Have you seen this circle technique?
 

I got the impression that people have problems with circles. (Maybe that was projection, lol!) I found this while I was wandering around the net. Its a technique to make circles for applique, but you could also use it to make curves, if you have problems with them, like the Piece-lique link I showed before. Anyway, here it is: http://sewinlovewithfabric.blogspot....-kratovil.html

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Love the results of the project.

Thank you for sharing! Perfect timing for me as I am still working on my butterfly quilt and have the circle blocks to complete. I have done a similar technique in class and it came out good.

Of course, I could do traditional applique but want to master the circle technique for this project.

Thanks again.

Wow that Tula Pink Butterfly quilt looks scrumptous. Could we get an update on your progress??

You can also use used dryer sheets, that's why I save all of the dryer sheets.

I think Eleanor Burns uses that technique at least I think that's one way she showed how to do Drunkard's Path.

Pinking shears work great to cut around the circle or around any applique done this way. Just watched an On Point video where Nancy suggests using fusible tricot and then cutting the slit and turning.

I do a similar thing but skip the freezer paper step. I draw the circle on the interfacing (or dryer sheets) and then use a window or other light source to position the paper over the object. Stitch around, trim with pinking sheers, slit and turn. Depending on the circles (size, quantity, placement), I will sometimes use the fusible interfacing so I can iron them in place before stitching. CAUTION - make sure you have placed your interfacing the correct way so that when you turn it, the fuse side is outside. Anyone using this technique has messed it up at least once!

Oh, that's not me, I just found it! I was wondering if it was done, too, lol.

I just finished a T-shirt quilt, so I know exactly what you mean, lol. Makes me glad my iron has a shiny metal soleplate I can clean with 0000 steel wool.
