Apple Core template question....help!
#11
Thanks for the X-acto knife idea, which might work as well. It occurred to me that I need to clarify which part I need help cutting. I need help with the inside curve, or the part of an apple where the seeds are. --> )(
I’m fine on the top and bottom outward curve.

I have an acrylic template for the apple core and use the smallest rotary cutter. STILL I manage to hit the blade occasionally on the inner curve. It does dull the blade and put some nicks into the template, but I'd still do it this way...with 4 or 5 layers at a time, it's worth it.

I just had another brainstorm..... at least that's what I am calling it!
When I was working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt of hexagons, I made freezer paper templates. I stacked 4 to 6 layers of paper together, secured them with staples and cut out 4 to 6 hexagon templates at a time. I could use a dry iron to attach the plastic side to the wrong side of the fabric. When done, I could reuse the template several more times.
Just a thought...
