Hi! I bought an Olfa Circle Cutter for the Sedona Star 2012 BOM and have used it for 19 circles so far. If you go to YouTube and type in Olfa Circle Cutter, there are several demonstrations on how to use it. Since I cut my circles without fusible attached (I hand appliqued my circles so did not need it), I taped the four corners of my small piece of fabric to the cutting mat with painter's tape and then did the cut. That way the fabric did not shift. My fabric was also well starched so that it remained stiff on the cutting mat. Also, note that where you hold the cutter on top (the big black knob), that has a ratchet feature built in: this means that you turn that knob as far as your wrist will allow, then stop, and give the knob a little twist in-place clockwise, and you will see then that it is easier to turn for the rest of the circle to be cut. Hope I was not too confusing... and hope this helps.
