The Circular Attachment is the perfect tool when you want to make unique embellishments on your sewing projects, garments and quilts. You can sew simple circles, flowers, or parts of circles to create unique borders or graphic patterns.

Combine circles in different sizes and create large patterns. Almost all utility or decorative stitches* can be used when stitching with this attachment so you can use your favourite stitch.

*Stitches with a default stitch width wider than 7 mm, and stitches with backward feeding cannot be used. For group 9 disengage the IDT and use with stitches no wider than 9mm.

  • Three different templates: one for sewing circles (1), one for a four-petal flower (2) and one for a six-petal flower (3). The numbers on the templates correspond to the diameter of the circle (in cm)
  • CD with User Instructions in 11 languages, a tutorial and ideas on how to combine circles using the templates

Extension/Quilter's table

When using the Circular Attachment, we recommend using an extension/quilter’s table. This will provide extra support to the fabric and makes it easier to control and guide the fabric. Extension/Quilter’s tables are available sold separately.

Stitch Selection

Utility and decorative stitches give wonderful results with this attachment, however, stitches with a default stitch width wider than 7 mm, and stitches with backward feeding cannot be used.
The shorter the stitch, the easier it is to get a nicely joined circle. When about to close the circle, slow down the sewing speed and you may need to adjust the stitch length to fill the gap.

Appliqués

You can make appliqués with a circular attachment. Use fabric that does not fray or make raw edge appliqués. Simply stitch your appliqué in place with a straight stitch, cut away the excess fabric, and finish it off by sewing a satin stitch over the raw edges. When using several layers of fabric, it is important to guide the fabric carefully making sure that all the layers feed together.
