Applique CircleTutorial Written and Designed by
Janet M. Davies
There are a few methods for making a round applique circle.
Below is the easiest I have found to get a good circular shape.
1. From thin cardboard (cereal
box) cut a circle the finished size you want the applique
circle. Cut circle fabric 1/8 inch larger than the cardboard
circle template.
2. By hand, tack a row of
stitching 1/16th inch in from the edge of your fabric
circle.
3. Place the cardboard template
on the wrong side of fabric and gather up the tacking
thread. Tie off the ends of the tacking thread firmly but
don't bend/warp the cardboard.
4. Make sure the other side is
sitting smooth and iron both sides of the fabric/template.
Do not use steam.
5. Important: Let the whole
fabric circle and template cool down after ironing, as it
helps set the crispness of the circle edge.
6. Carefully remove tacking
thread and cardboard template.
7. Place the circle onto your
main fabric tucking under the edges. Pin in place.
8. Tack the circle onto the
main fabric.
9. Sew the circles in place
around their edge using Ladder stitch. Remove tacking
thread.
