I love my circle cutter from Olfa. If I need a circle larger I also have the circle ruler. When my mother decided to do a yo-yo quilt, the cutter was a life saver as I cut over 1000 circles for her.

I love my Olfa circle cutter. I had to practice a little to get the hang of it. Once I got used to it, it was life saver. It does limit the size of circles you can cut. Usually if I need bigger circles I dont need many so I just use a scissors for those.

I have the EZ that I have used very little, however it is good for what I used it for. I ordered the circle tool from Nancy's Notions and it is so much easier and comes out perfect. I will be using this one from now on.

I agree with QuiltE, an item from the kitchen and the small rotary cutter is all it take for perfect circles. You can check the kitchen to see what you already have to use.

Just curious - what does one do with all the circles? Are they for piecing or applique projects???
