Mariner’s compass using parchment paper.

A quick photo tutorial for using parchment paper to turn the edges over for a large circle.

Place the pieced disc on top of the parchment paper with the right side facing the paper.

Next stitch on the edge of the disc.

Cut a hole in the paper.

Next cut slits in the paper almost too the edge.

The push the paper over the edge and pop the fabric to the edge where the paper has been folded back and finger pressed.

Now the disc can be pressed with the iron and the paper can be removed. It is ready to be applique on to the background fabric.
