Just passing through, I would like to know how you all made them so flat! and making the round binding. I made the circles, put the pieces together,but they still didn't come out right. another thing for me to learn!!

The one that I sewed RSF and turned laid flat, but wasn't truly round. It reminded me of the what the wheel must have looked like when the cavemen first made them.
