Tutorial perfect circles
 

HELLO!
How are? I tore the week?
I hope that super good!
For anyone who wants to know how to make a small perfect circle by means of templates I wrote Tutorial with several photos.
I've got 19 steps to post, so be patient while I get them all posted here in this thread.
So let´s get started!

#1
 

We take a template (Karen Kay Buckley, "Perfect Circles")
or if not, take a an acetate, or a piece of cardboard,
or a washed radiography and we mark the final size of the circle that we need.
Cut it with the greatest possible care.
If we see that the cut marks are at tips, with a nail file we can go smoothing gently until you get a smooth and polished finish. This will give a better finish to our work.
Once we have our template, put on the reverse of the fabric to use
and how to transfer it.
Once we have our template, put on the reverse of the fabric to use and how to transfer it. That will be the seam allowance.
We cut the fabric for the second mark and will look like this:

#2
 

Thread a needle with a thread be strong (for basting) and performed a
hem (point - space - point) between the mark and the outside of the circle:

#3
 

When completed the route of
circle, DO NOT cut the thread:

#4
 

We place the template on the spot marked:

#5
 

And slowly pull the both threads, the fabric puckers

#6
 

If we leave too much room for extra fabric left over and we gather will be uneven, producing an excess of fabric on the back our circle:

#7
 

We pulled the both threads and "accommodating" the fabric, watching
on the right, until we like it as was:

#8
 

Now at the back we will apply a
brush sizing or starch, in the whole piece:

#9
 

See how wet it is? Even the color is "dark"! Try not to "swim"! Hahaha!

#10
 

And now it's time to put up the iron (hot but not too much!)
and we feel a magical sound:
shshsshshshshs!!
That's what we want!

#11
 

Be formed by the primer, a "frost" on the fabric, but we work on the back, not
We'll worry. This will give rigidity to the piece!

#12
 

Turn and apply the iron the right to set and now we let dry and cool this piece,
where if possible, without moving!

#13
 

Once we verify that it is cold and dry part (see already "clarified" the color?) ...

#14
 

...we must "open" the fabric on the one hand, it smaller than can ...

#15
 

and we must remove the template that was inside the circle!

#16
 

Once this is done, take the both thread,
we left hanging in the whole process ...

Great pics and tut! Thanks for sharing.

#17
 

we take the piece by one side and throw
gently and SLOWLY!...

#18
 

until we get the circle we had achieved with the template!

#19

I have not yet made big circles.
I think that would make them the same way! .
But I just bought a book called differently explained PIEC-Lique (Shambers Sharon).
There is a tutorial here in this thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...ue-t90945.html
A hug!

Thanks for the tute. You've made it very clear to understand.

Thank you for doing all that hard work. Very helpful

Thank you for those perfect instruction. I like instruction to be step by step and short. Some of the patterns I buy have pages of writing. I don't want to have to weed out what they are saying.

Your appliqué work is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you!
I do not know their language.
I have to use few words and short phrases that the translator type what should.
I very much appreciate your comment, it gives me more confidence to keep trying to communicate!
A big hug for you!

Thank you you for your nice words to my work!
A big hug!
