Thank you I watched all 3 tutorials. Great idea!!

I face the majority of my art quilts.
I use glue and an iron to tack them down on the back, about 1/4" back from the edge of the inside of the facing so that I can get them absolutely straight with a ruler along the sides and then I hand sew the back. Saves having to put a million pins in to keep everything folded over while you hand sew it in place. Watson |
First I have ever heard of facing a quilt. It’s a great way to do it. I will try it on my next wallhanging. Thanks for the tutorials.

I am assuming that the facings are not cut on the bias. Is that correct?
|
How does facing differ from enveloping a quilt?
|
facings go just around the edges of the back and need to be hand stitched down. They are used in addition to a backing. Enveloping/birthing a quilt covers the entire back with the backing piece and do not need additional bindings or facings.

Thanks everyone for your information. I've got some reading to do.
|
That is brilliant for small quilts
|
I would think that using the facing method for larger quilts would be something that would tape your toes in the corners?
