Binding is lovely, but sometimes you want the edge of a quilt to simply disappear so the design runs right to the very edge with nothing framing it. That is exactly what a facing does, and in this tutorial from our Fabric Hut channel, we walk you through adding a facing for a beautifully clean, modern finish where the binding quietly vanishes to the back.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A crisp, modern edge. A facing turns to the back of the quilt so nothing shows from the front, letting your piecing or art quilt reach right to the edge uninterrupted.
- Perfect for wall hangings and modern makes. When you want the design to feel like a framed piece of art rather than a traditional quilt, facing is the finish that gets you there.
- A handy skill to have. Once you know how to face a quilt, you have a lovely alternative to binding in your back pocket for whenever a project calls for it.
If you have not already, subscribing to our channel means you will catch every new technique as soon as it lands. Are you team binding or team facing? I would love to hear which finish you reach for most.
