    I took a class how to sew circles this way years ago. I remember we couldn't use the set in tables or machines set in a cabinet and used the thick JC Penny catalogs, everyone had those, to push the pin into. LOL I think now the newer machines have attachments to sew perfect circles.

    I have this foot to sew circles on my machine. It's lots of fun to stitch new designs. I use the pivot button so the action of the foot pedal lifts the foot (needle stays down) and I can turn the fabric.

    I just ordered that foot from sewing machines plus, online. Lots cheaper than from my dealer! I tried the thumbtack, it works too! Another toy to play with...

    Take a strip of blue painters tape and put a flat head thumb tack in it with the sharp end pointing up. Place your fabric on this tack and sew. You do not have to guide fabric. The size of the circle will be twice the distance from the needle to tack tip.
    Once you sew first circle. Then you can remove tack and fabric and sew using the edge of pressure foot to make additional circles.

    ..or just move that tack out a bit further for each ring of that circle...easier than hand guiding for additional rings. At least I found that for me it worked better....
