Appliqué Perfect Circles with the Janome Circular Sewing Attachment

[@suebean3873]

Awesome, thank you. I happened to see this attachment in a local quilt shop. Didn’t buy it, but the teacher said to look up some videos and I came across yours. I’m so glad I did. Beautiful job and you make it look so easy, thank you.

Thank you for such a wonderful video tutorial. I have this attachment for my machine and took a class for this years ago. (Of course, I recall little of it!) Thus, you are now in my saved videos!! I will be using this process to make a small children's quilt with little dogs that I have left over in a specific fabric. This tutorial made my day!!!

Thanks Kim, I had you saved a year ago, and am refreshing my thoughts on circular attachment (Pfaff Creative 3.0), somehow I have been a bit anxious about it- but revising videos helps so much. I've subscriv=bed to your page now. thanks , Marietta Australia

You are so welcome!

This is an amazing attachment. Thanks for creating a video.

I plan on making a quilt with about 60 circles. Would this attachment work with precut circles to sating stitch the edge? I’m not the best with appliqué!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You could do that, depending on the size of the circles. You would have to be very careful that the circles are "perfect" and place the attachment in the exact centre. Another option might be to cut out the circles larger than desired, do the satin stitching inside the circle, leaving excess fabric on the edge, and then trim off the excess fabric. This is the method I use when doing machine embroidery and it works well.

Thank you for posting this video. I need to ask a few questions though. Which brand circular attachment did you use ? And, I've read how you need at least seven feed dogs to operate them properly, but, will that attachment work on a sewing machine that has only four feed dogs ? (I can't determine which brand machine you are working with, here.) If it won't work, is there a brand of circular attachment which will work with only four feed dogs ? I appreciate your advice and help.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I am using a Janome circular sewing attachment and create on Janome machines. I'm not sure about the feed dog issue - I just buy the appropriate attachments for the brand and model of machine I am using.

Amazing

[@ElizaMS17]

Does this make a large hole in the middle of your fabric? I want to make circle but with satin.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Hi Eliza! It does not make a hole in your fabric, however I think you could stitch the circle the size that you want with a satin stitch and then cut out the interior of that circle if you do want an open circle in your fabric. I hope this answers your question. :)

Where from buy it

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You can buy this attachment at your local Janome dealer. There are also many online website stores that carry Janome accessories like this.

[@2oceanside]

omg you put a hole in the fabric doing that!! I don’t like that idea at all. No thanks not for me![

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Yes, but it comes out with some spraying and an iron. You also put holes in fabric when you use pins...😉
