Apliquick ®™ Rods – Apliquick Tools for Turned Edge Appliqué

Apliquick tools are two fine rods made of surgical steel, each with a different design on its ends:

One tool has a fork-shaped tip (in a "V") and a pointed end, and the other has a pointed tip and a beveled end.

These tools are used together to fold the seam allowance inward over the interfacing.
