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

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

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.

thank you for the wonderful Info, everyone! but I use Saucers ( diff. size tea saucers) or diff. sizes Plates. Even the plastic or wooden spool! Any round things, around my Place.Like: jar lid, coins, key rings, compass...etc.

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.

Must be the resourceful Farmer in both of us! :D:D
