The patent-pending Slit 'N Sew, Apple Core Template from Quilter's Paradise, offers an innovative new way to cut and piece fabric together. Use 28 or 45mm rotary cutters with these rulers to achieve a more accurate cut. When you place your ruler on your fabric, you need to pay close attention to the directions the arrows are facing. To prevent wobbling the template needs to be placed on the straight of the grain of your material. Once you cut out your shape, go back and cut the slits along the side of the Apple Core; these slits help you to line up your fabric when sewing and eliminate the need for pinning.

When you are ready to start sewing your pieces together, you will advance a slit at a time. Line up the next slit from each piece that is being stitched together and sew to that slit and repeat until finished. Each template also features CutRite HandiGrabber material that prevents the ruler from slipping when cutting. The CutRite, Slit 'N Sew Apple Core Template, is made of durable acrylic and produced in the USA.
