Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

When I need to sew a perfect circle, I first cut out the circle onto paper.

Then you trace the circle onto the wrong side of your fabric.

Cut the circle out of the fabric and place it right sides down onto a piece of stabilizer.

Sew the circle onto the stabilizer then cut out the circle. I use pinking sheers.

Carefully make a slit into the center of the stabilizer side of the circle (be careful not to cut your fabric).

Then pull the fabric right sides out and press- this makes a perfect circle every time.

Answer 4

If you are planning a large project like a quilt you could buy a circle cutter (Olfa, I think) at a fabric or Quilting store. It cuts mutiple layers in any size, and saves a lot of wear and tear on your hands, eyesight, and scissors.
