Changing the direction of the miter between the face and the back side is done in order to balance the bulk of the folded fabric.

You girls are so much fun! Giggling while I watch!

I love the fact that the quilts you are showing are obviously loved! That;s why we make them right”

Your conversation was so down to earth. Thank you.

Wow, never heard of facing on a quilt before. I'll have to look into it. You both did a great presentation.....very informative. Thank you for the video 😊👍 💕

using uhu craft glue stick to stick down the facing you can use the slip of the glue to move the fabric around until you get it in the right place then you an iron it until the glue is dry and then stitch it down. This glue is water soluble and will wash out... I use this glue for putting in zips, putting on pockets, use it for putting on collars again the slip will allow you get them in the right place... then iron dry and sew...

I keep rewatching this video so I will get the courage to try it!

One more edge finish: I use fluffy batting and tie the quilt as normal. I trim all the layers straight, then carefully remove the outer half inch of batting all the way around. I fold the backing up over the trimmed batting, then turn the edge of the top under and stitch 1/8 inch or so away from the folded edge, through all the layers. It takes decades to wear through; perfect for those "drag around the house and sleep with the pets" utility quilts.

❤I was told that there should never be a snout (like a pig’s nose) at the corners. You are right.

Great stories, ideas, and examples. Thanks.

Thanks for showing the “faced” method, that’s one I didn’t know about. I’ve got wood frame already on the outer edge of my quilt top, and I didn’t quite know how to finish that, perfect example for a faced finish! I’ve done the fold to the top, using excess back fabric method until I had a striped (or plaid) backing as that was just awful to get the lines right and really if you’re needing to trim the quilt to square it up than obviously it’s not possible to use the back folded to the front as binding! The lacy edged quilt, and a yarn or chenille couched edge are also interesting suggestions! I’ve got a 1/4” presser foot on my Juki that yarn feeds into the foot hole and can be top stitched for the couched-yarn method. That’s a A little surprise in my sewing machine feet (see video by that name on using existing feet in your sewing machine to add decorative stitches with fancy thread or yarn). Nice idea depending on the quilt! For baby quilts in flannel, even if you don’t assemble it for an entirely fringed quilt, that fabric choice is great to use as a fringed edge finish!

Very informative and fun to watch.

Nice variety of bindings. Thanks.

Very interesting idea on how to finish your art quilts Thanks!

Great video!!!! ❤️ Can you quilt the envelope blanket instead of tieing on a domestic machine?

On your facing that you mitered, how did you do that mitering? All the videos I watched, say to put a triangle in the corner. To cover your edges.

I wonder if you could face a double wedding ring quilt. I like the idea from the front but would it just be a pain😊

Question: how to you set the HQ Sweet Sixteen to do a basting stitch?

I wish your close up shots were better. Maybe a still shot inserted would show up better.

Is bias binding stronger than straight of grain? Does it wear better?

Gina Siembieda calls facing binding “infinity binding” because it falls off the edge like water on an infinity pool.

Is it possible to use a facing and a hanging sleeve on the back of the same quilt?

I loved the video content. . .but the sound was horrible. I had to turn the volume all the way up and then I lost Christine at the end. An overhead camera that zooms would help.

Would you PLEASE tell the camera operator to zoom in faster when they are showing something that we need to see closer?!? When Kim tries to show the facing on her quilt the camera operator isn’t even paying attention.

As in some other Handi quilter videos, the sound is very low, had to turn up my volume on the computer and still is not good. Good video though!!!!

I can't hear you very well.

the sound is very low

sound is too low,

AGree sound is too low!

Got uou on high and can't hear you. Need a room mic

You start video stating "the right and wrong way". A real turn off for newbies. I think in the realm of quiltmaking there are lots of ways to dolots if things and still have a beautiful creation. I wont watch.
