Can someone tell me the difference between these two circle sets:

Nested Circle

Companion Circle

Thanks!

The size of the circles is different. Makes for better framing when you have the companion. The nesting circles are farther apart, so when you go to
make a frame, it is just too big.
Yikes, Hope I explained that, it sounded right in my head LOL

I mean for that price, I can get both, I just didn't know what the difference was.

Thank you!

Yes, that is a great price, and I would definitly get both!

The only reason I know is because I just bought the companion
myself :-)

Love the toys! LOL

The nested circle has grooves for cutting circles that are 1/4" apart. So if you cut one and then cut the next larger you get a 1/4" matt. The companion has grooves that are also 1/4" apart but they fit between the regular nested circle sizes such that if you cut a circle with one you can use the other one to cut a matt that is 1/8" larger.

Hope that helps.

I'd get both- they work perfectly together.

I want to get the other one- but the problem is, I don't know which I have to begin with...

I'm pretty sure the regular one goes from a 7/8" circle to a 4 3/8" circle and the companion one goes from 5/8" to 4 1/8".

Hope that helps.

I know, the day I got my companions, I wrote which was which with Sharpie on them because I'd KNEW I'd get the mixed up!

The companion has a "C" etched in the corner (at least on mine).

Yep, mine has the C on it too, had no idea! You also need the ovals and companinon ovals, they work great with the giga scallop punch!
