[@rainbowflashmlp]

I keep coming back to this video as this is y favourite way to face a quilt! Thanks

[@catherinecharlwood4546]

Great technique and I like that you’ve used the same mini quilts each step. Thank you

[@monaedwards7617]

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!😊

[@melmack2003]

I have reviewed your tutorial often....it's excellent. I recommend it to friends. Thank you!

[@lornapezanelli7462]

Wonderful video - very clear, concise and easy! It’s the best one I’ve seen on facing a quilt. Thank you!

[@laylaluce6202]

Great Tutorial! Thank you so much 😎

[@patfargis6802]

Like your method of facing much better than others I’ve watched. Definitely will use this.

[@metathinking]

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!

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.

I've been watching a lot of you tube's about facing a quilt and this is the best one. Clear and no-nonsense. Thank you.

[@vickishelton1342]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks! Very clear and concise instructions!

[@angelameltzer]

This made the project so clear, easy and quick - with perfect results.

[@darleensanford7231]

Recently bought your book and love it. This is the best facing video I've seen so far. I really like the technique.

[@bethtalmage7113]

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.

[@kathystegora3775]

Just the technique I was looking for. Clear and concise!

[@AnneSTLMO]

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.

[@CandTPublishing]

Hi Anne! That's a really cool idea - thanks for sharing!!

[@greatpianomusic9457]

LUUUOVE your book AND this Splendid finish for modern quilts. Thank you!🥰👏

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

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.

[@CandTPublishing]

Good tip! Thank you!

[@PamelaMcIntosh-o6u]

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.

[@CandTPublishing]

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.

[@sarahreindel5379]

very helpful! Thank you! wondering if you have any tips to help a quilt lay flat. I think I over quilted it! and now it has a little wave.

[@FlyingParrotQuilts]

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.

[@marialorenzosachs7259]

Thanks for the clear instructions. What i would love to know is what that wooden tool is called and where I could buy one !?

[@Jalama17]

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.
