Circles
does anyone here have/use the circular sewing accessory to applique circles? I know each machine maker offers one specific to the brand - average cost $90, and Nancy's notions offers her universal type circle aid, then there's a old fashioned way of thumbtack taped onto bed of machine......
I have looked at a few youtubes and could make interesting tablerunners with this technique... Either arcs or circles, thread or applique, but wonder if buying the brand specific is the wisest.......opinions please!

I have used the accessory for my brand (Viking) at the shop. I was not impressed. My older Viking has an extension table with holes drilled every half inch for use with tacks. I really feel the thumbtack method works as well or better.

My Brother Laura Ashley model came with the circular sewing attachment and additional feet. But I haven't tried it yet. I also have a secondary device that will manually make circles for fabric and a different brand for paper products. They're pretty neat and easy to use.
