Step 2Sew Pincushion
Lay the two circles from your outside fabric RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER. Place the scrap fabric circle on the WRONG side of the piece that will be the bottom of your pincushion.
Stitch around edge using the edge of your presser foot as the seam allowance guide. Leave a 1" or so place to turn it right side out. Tip: Sew the opening area closed first by back stitching, then lengthening your stitch and sewing about an inch, and then back stitch again where the opening ends. Then you can press the seam open in this area and remove the stitches. This will give you a nice crease to follow when stitching the opening closed.
Clip all around the circle and press your stitches to shrink them up.
Turn the pincushion right side out through the opening.
