Recounting his jelly-making, Mark Angermayer said, "A lot of folks use a food mill to separate the seeds."

If your batch is large enough to warrant it, use your cider press to remove the seeds. Just make a cloth bag that is just a bit larger in diameter than you think you'll need. There is no need to make a cloth cylinder because a large enough flat bag does the job quite nicely. If the press's bed is worn, a metal tray is recommended for atop a wooden cider press bed but a piece of polyethylene will work too. Just don't squeeze too hard too fast, if your liner is a light-weight fabric, or it could burst between the slats. If your plunger doesn't fit tightly enough, wrap it with a worn wash cloth before inserting it into the basket. This works better than the next best thing!
