Renata, thank you for your kind comments. I think I owe you an apology - for some reason I thought you posted the question. This shows how little experience I have posting on the forum, but I'm learning.

Hi, Manuela! I watched the same video on YouTube that you did when I was trying to learn how to use it. I just forgot which video it was until I saw yours. Hopefully this will help Mellymoo and it was a nice refresher for me. I also looked at your quilts for your brother and sister-in-law: they are beautiful. I hope that you will post more of them and it is nice to see you on the Forum too! Renata

Renata,
I also struggled with it at first. Of all the You Tube videos I found this one the most useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMTgmBRWhXw. I hope this helps.

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.
Renata

Has anyone any experiance of using the ofla circle maker? I bought one recently hoping that it would make my circle cutting more precise. It appears to be quite difficult to acheive a nice smooth edged circle? Maybe I need much more practice but I would really appreciate any tips anyone has? (should of asked advice from all you guys before I bought the tool :oops: ). Also i can't work out why there are two sliding sections can anyone enlighten me, there were no instructions in the packaging :?
