I did it. I broke down and bought a Circle Lord. In some ways I think of it as selling out. At least until I look closely at my freehand circles. Then I just cackle with glee. This thing makes even my quilting look good. No kidding. Have a look at some of the things just a super basic stripped down Circle Lord can do:
this was my first ever attempt to use the gizmo, too.
There won't ever be a replacement for artistically worked careful freehand quilting, but there is plenty of room in my repertoire for well made circles.
I'd write more, but I need to search the internet. I'm now in the market for a Dirty Dishes Lord.
