I tried a new technique (to me) by taping a thumbtack onto my sewing machine next to the needle. Then when I put the quilt sandwich down the tack holds it in place, causing the stitches to form a perfect circle. By moving the tack closer to the needle, or further away, the size of the circle changes.
Size is 12 inches square on a hand-dyed background.

Thanks for the technique. The results are stunning. I hope to try that. What kind of tape did you use to keep it firmly in place?
painters tape or masking tape will do
Cool! I want to try this! Thanks for sharing. Love your varigated circles.
Not only is this a good use of a technique that's new to me, but seemingly it works with some of the fancier stitches too! Good job.
It's interested how some of the circles seem to come forward and some fade into the background.
