This is a nice, clear, easy to follow video. Author, Sylvia Schaefer is an excellent instructor. Her book is well written and an excellent resource for modern quilting.
Thank you so much for this clear and very detailed tutorial. Just this morning I was wishing I could remember how to face a quilt. Your technique is better than any I had heard before.
Thank you. For me, this has turned out to be an easy way to bind a quilt quickly. I just reverse the process so the "facing" becomes the binding on the front of the quilt. I'm doing smaller quilts to donate for babies and this method just speeds things up. Again, thanks.
Thanks for the clear consise instructiions! and I love your book, it gives me the ideas and guidance I need to make some of my favorite patterns in fresh and modern ways!
Don't forget to sew your hanging sleeve on the top at the same time. Great technique, especially on reducing bulk at the corners. I love the look of a faced quilt.
This is a great method, thank you Sylvia I am using the method now, so would I put the hanging sleeve just under the top facing or on top of it? I'm going to sew the sleeve on last so I can get the facing to lay flat if I stitch it first.
I like your facing method. Especially the tip about clipping the corners from the back only. Question: How would you suggest hanging a faced quilt? I have an 18x18" paper pieced block I want to face and hang. Thank you.
You can still use the sleeve method for hanging your quilt. You would want to pin the sleeve in place before you sew down your facing and stitch it all down in one go.
As long as you are quilting all the areas of your quilt about evenly, the density of quilting shouldn't be an issue. I'd recommend you try blocking the quilt-basically, wetting it and then allowing it to dry pinned flat. There are lots of great tutorials for this out there and it does wonders in getting your quilt back into shape.
That's a bamboo point turner. It's used in garment sewing to do things like turning the point of a collar. You could probably make do with something you already have at home such as a chopstick.
I have reviewed your tutorial often....it's excellent. I recommend it to friends. Thank you!
Great Tutorial! Thank you so much 😎
Wonderful video - very clear, concise and easy! It’s the best one I’ve seen on facing a quilt. Thank you!
Great technique and I like that you’ve used the same mini quilts each step. Thank you
There are a variety of ways to do this, BUT this is my favorite because it’s simple and the corners are not bulky. Thank you!😊
Like your method of facing much better than others I’ve watched. Definitely will use this.
This is exactly what I needed! This is very efficient. I have done this at least 3 other ways. I like this one the best! Thanks!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks! Very clear and concise instructions!
