Has anyone tried making the apple core block with Quiltsmart? I have the instructions but doesn't seem to work. My points aren't lining up the way they should. everything is cut correctly so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If anybody has a tute or better yet a video that would be great. Thanks everyone.

The seam allowance is really irrelevant when using Quiltsmart.
@Mimmis57
What "points" are you taking about on the AppleCore?
They alternate horizontal and vertical, and the curved sections fit into each other.
Before you turned the pieces, did you make sure you didn't have excess seam allowance? After you turned them, did you smooth out the edges and make sure there are no folds in seam? I use my fingernails, but you could also use a wooden iron.

I had a hard drive crash so I lost my pictures of my quilt but here's the pic from the pattern

Although, I suppose you could do it the way you're doing it if you wanted a more uniform effect. But that's not the way the product was originally intended - at least not the AppleCore pattern.
