Frequently Asked Questions
- What sizes of circles are included?
- Check the product listing for the specific circle sizes included in this set. Most circle template sets include a range from small (1–2") through large (8–12") to cover the most common quilting and appliqué sizes.
- Can I cut fabric circles directly using the template with a rotary cutter?

Some templates have specially designed channels for rotary cutting.

- Are these templates compatible with ruler feet on domestic machines?
- Check the specific template set for ruler foot compatibility. Some circle templates are designed with a specific edge profile for use with domestic machine ruler feet.
