    Bernina Circle Maker

    I have a Bernina 1130 and Bernina doesn't make a Circle Maker for that old of machine. Any suggestions on what I can use for a substitute (instead of drawing circles by hand and cutting them out?

    #2
    I went to an embroidery class where the teacher used a drawing pin with the point sticking up held down with some masking tape and a cork to cover the pin.
    Maybe not as efficient as the circle make but I practised and made some lovely circles.
    There must be lots on you tube that you could watch.
    Best of luck
    Anne

      Olfa makes a circle cutter which I have purchased but have not tried yet. I found mine at MIchaels.

        Thanks for all the tips. I'll probably go with the ofla circle maker --- looks like a fun tool to use.
