Place these two pieces on top of each other - right sides facing and aligning the creases on top of each other.

Put a pin in this centre crease approximately on the 1/4 inch mark. You can mark a 1/4 inch all the way around the apple core piece if you chose. I don't simply because I've been doing it so long I can eyeball and 1/4 inch pretty well.
Next you need to pin one of the outer edges. I usually pin the right side first as I'm right handed and then move to the left. It doesn't matter though. Put a pin at the 1/4 inch mark at the right edge, aligning your edges well and pin to the centre pin that you previously inserted. Repeat for the left side.

| How it will look with two pins |
I'm a great advocate of pinning. Some people aren't. I like to use pins, especially on curved pieces because it keeps all the edges stable and in place before I actually sew. I tend to pin a lot on curved pieces.

| How your finished pinned edges should look |
Now you can start sewing. I sew from right to left and take 4 to 5 stitches at a time using a rocking motion moving my needle up and down through the fabric. I pull the pins out after I've sewn through the 1/4 inch section.
This is how your finished sewn piece should look.

That's it. Very simple. Just keep adding and adding apple cores until you achieve your finished size.
