I used a CD once for a circle; it was the size I wanted and worked well.

I use them for appliqué and making yo-yos.

If you have the same one I bought over a year ago I have not been able to make it work. I'm not sure if Olfa has improved on the product or maybe I'm not using it right. I threw it to the back of the shelf very disgusted, and have not tried to use it since. If anyone has some suggestions I'd like to hear them as I think I have about $18 tied up in it.

I use this too. Since most of my work is with applique, I trace onto my fusible. I use the six and five inch groove for a six inch circle and cut away the excess fusible on the five inch line so the center is free of fusible.
