Review by Tester

"Oh how I love the look of quilted circles on a quilt top. The trick was how to quilt them perfectly without taking a lot of time to do it. My customers didn’t want to spend the money for the extra time it took me to quilt perfect circles with a ruler. Well, the answer is Circle Thingy. I was thrilled when I first quilted using Circle Thingy. With this new tool, I am able to quilt a wide variety of circles sizes quickly & perfectly without the fuss of rulers or other cumbersome equipment. I was amazed at how easy it was to center my circles & quilt them. The stylus is easy to install & solid when in use. Circle Thingy doesn’t move around when in use either but it’s easy to reposition. I love this tool called Circle Thingy but more importantly, my customers love how it gives their quilt tops personality and that new modern look. Circle Thingy is affordable & easy to use. What more could we ask for?

The regular plastic pin will work, but may show some wobble as the pin is much smaller than the Circlelord's pin. You can get a Stainless Steel replacement with the right size for both the Circle Thingy and other Circlelord templates.
