How to Add Facing to Your Quilt

Add a modern look to your quilt with facing to finish your quilt instead of binding! As a bonus, this technique also adds triangles in the corners that can be used to hang your quilt!

best method and super video. I had great results following this video. I only cut my strips 2" wide due to running out of the fabric but 2 1/2" like you show would have been better. I don't hand sew and instead fused the facings down with fusible web. super tidy.

thank you so much for this quick tutorial; I plan to use facing on my quilted living room curtains. After viewing several tutorials, I believe your’s is the most clear and concise method.

I'm going to do this to a wallhanging I just finished. Great video, precise, to the point -- thank you!

Wow, what a fantastic way to do the edging of the quilt. I love this!!!! You made it look so easy and I think once I have it down and remember the steps it will be easy. The look is wonderful. Thank you so much for a really great video tutorial and I will tell others about it too. Thanks again. Claudia

I've watched several videos about facings and personally I think it would be fine for a wall hanging, or table topper but I would never do this for a quilt, especially if it was a gift.

I really like facing quilts. For many designs, facing gives a nicer looking finish, particularly on improv/modern quilts, and is just as durable.

[@susanelliott1970]

Is the diagonal stitching within the 1/4" seam allowance or just on to the quilt side of the stitched corner?

[@franceslove5461]

Wonderful technique. Can this be used on larger quilts to avoid doing mitered corners and will this technique hold up in the laundry?🥰🙏🏾❤

[@marleneclausen30]

Would definitely NOT use this as a binding option for a bed quilt. Facing for a wall hanging it is great and the method is much easier than the one I’d been using. There is the extra added advantage of being able to easily insert a dowel at the bottom is a little extra weight is needed.

[@allpeoplequilt]

Great point! It is definitely technique best suited for a quilt that will be displayed.

[@Westernwilson]

If you are concerned about durability, the edges of the faced quilts are no more likely to wear than is a bound edge, and is just as easy to replace.

Hotel still charge a pet fee. I just went through it
