These special templates are designed to help you create precise and evenly spaced circular embroidery stitches. Because each template has a fixed number of spokes, it’s easy to plan the structure of your stitch and keep all spokes the same length and beautifully balanced.
The built-in 1/8" guides allow you to choose different circle sizes, from small and delicate to larger and more eye-catching. This gives you plenty of freedom to design and combine stitches without constantly measuring or guessing.
You can use the templates by first tracing the lines with a chalk pencil, but they are also sturdy enough to stitch directly through. This makes them not only accurate, but also practical and quick to use. Thanks to their compact size, they’re easy to take with you—perfect for stitching on the go or during workshops.
A wonderful tool for anyone who enjoys playing with structure, rhythm and symmetry in embroidery—whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your stitching further.

What is the difference between the Sue Spargo Spoke Easy and Circle Templates?
Although they may look similar at first glance, the Spoke Easy and Circle Templates by Sue Spargo are designed for different purposes.
The Circle Templates are primarily used for drawing, tracing, and marking circles.
- Includes 9 different circle sizes
- Perfect for drawing accurate circles on wool, cotton, linen, and other fabrics
- Features evenly spaced markings around each circle to help plan decorative stitches
- Ideal for appliqué, embroidery, Sashiko, and folded hexagons
- Often used as the foundation for flowers, circles, and decorative motifs
In short: use the Circle Templates to create the circle itself.
Spoke Easy
The Spoke Easy is designed to create evenly spaced radial lines ("spokes") from a central point.
- Helps divide a circle into equal sections
- Ideal for flowers, mandalas, stars, sunbursts, and wheel-like designs
- Ensures stitches and embellishments are placed symmetrically
- Frequently used in creative embroidery and Sue Spargo-style embellishment projects
In short: use the Spoke Easy to divide a circle into evenly spaced segments.
Simply put
- Circle Templates → draw the circle.
- Spoke Easy → divide the circle into equal sections.
Many Sue Spargo stitchers use both tools together: first drawing a circle with the Circle Templates, then using the Spoke Easy to mark the spokes so that stitches, beads, and embellishments can be placed evenly and symmetrically around the center.
