Facing a quilted piece.
 

pretend this small sample is a quilted piece you want to put a fancy edge on. Prepare the facing/frame the same size as your piece.[ATTACH=CONFIG]575301[/ATTACH]

picture 3- you will notice I did gentle curves not deep V's because like in applique V's will be tougher to turn out.[ATTACH=CONFIG]575303[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]575304[/ATTACH]Picture 4- try to match the facing colour to the top so if it doesn't pressed perfectly, it isn't noticeable

Thanks so much for the great tut

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I didn't know that a quilt could be finished like this.

Here's an example of "impossible to bind? Do facing!" After trying all methods of binding, I'm so glad I asked the board and got the suggestion to face it! Tartan your method is really nice!

This might just be the answer for my circle quilt.

Thanks!

OH like turning it inside out in a way. thanks for the tute.

Well-explained and well-illustrated.

Thanks so much for the tute. Now I understand why I couldn't figure it out. It starts with a flat edge and the curved edge and facing are created together. I can't wait to try this and I have a little quilt just waiting for this technique.

Thanks again Tartan.
peace
