Why use Quiltsmart?

Skip traditional curved piecing. Create the Apple Core shape using Quiltsmart’s Easy ZigZag Appliqué method.
No needle-turn appliqué. The Quiltsmart method gives you a faster way to handle the curved shapes.
Sew on printed lines. The sewing and placement guides are already printed on the interfacing.
Less measuring and marking. Spend less time preparing individual pieces.
Make complex-looking designs more easily. The interfacing helps guide you through the construction process.
Great for scrappy quilts. Use a variety of fabrics to give each Apple Core its own personality.
Choose what you need. Buy instructions, a single panel, a Pack, or a Bolt depending on your project.

Apple Core is a classic design typically made with all curves, our Zigzag Appliqué method has no curved piecing, no needle turning!

The apple cores each finish at 6" long. Only HALF are true apple cores - the other half are from the background blocks! It's pretty amazing!

FIRST TIME USERS - Purchase the PACK which includes instructions and 8 panels of interfacing for up to a Twin size quilt. Don’t forget the ADD-ON pack for Queen or King size quilts.
