There are different circular sewing attachments for different models. I would check with your Janome retailer to find out if there is one that will work with your model (I'm not a Janome retailer so don't have info on all the machines).
Hi Kim, thanks for this tutorial, I've had a go using the circular attachment while making a pot holder. I thought I'd use it to go through all the layers. It was a bit of a disaster, the ends didn't meet up and I ended up sewing a spiral instead of a circle. I unpicked it and went with wavy lines. Haven't touched it since, a bit scared to now... any ideas why that happened? Was it because I was sewing through a thick pot holder? I'm not sure why it didn't work, was a bit disappointed. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them and learn something
It can be a bit tough going through multiple layers and maintaining the perfect circle. You might try using a Supreme Slider or Sew Slip II (used for free motion quilting) on the bed of your sewing machine to help the project move along a bit better. Also, take your time and stop frequently to smooth your fabric out and away from the needle.
Hi Roxanne! I wouldn't use fusible batting as a stabilizer as I would think that it might be a little too thick. I like to use one of Sulky's products, such as Tear Away or Wash Away or a similar stabilizer. If you wanted to use the Circular Sewing Attachment as a quilting too, you could use fusible batting as batting with your quilt top, batting and backing, but this is a different application than just using the Circular Sewing Attachment to create designs on a single layer of fabric. I hope this answers your questions.
I would suggest that you work from the inside out but you might want to draw out your outermost circle in advance and then work in towards the centre of the circle drawing reference circles so you'll know where everything should fit and to be sure that the outermost circle isn't larger than what you want it to be.

Thank you Kim 🧡
Great tutorial. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Do you think it’s possible to create the hand stitch 97d with the circle attachment in a quilt? Thanks for the video!
I haven't tried this one, but I don't see why you couldn't as long as you take your time stitching it out.
Will the circular attachment work with all Janome Machines. I have a Janome 3050 machine.

Should I work from the inside out or the outside in? It feels like inside out is best.
