How to Use a Facing

[@juliannaburgess9177]

Hi Joe! Kate from the Last Homey House suggested your video. SO here I am. I love the look of this binding. Not complicated at all. Straight forward. Going to see what other tips you have. Thank you.

[@laurag8641]

Just watched latest video of the Last Homely House. Kate had a link to this video as I really enjoyed seeing how a “facing” type binding looks when completed! Thank you for sharing your technique!

Same❤❤❤

[@jenniferanderson7080]

Me too!

[@LizStevens-o6v]

DITTO!

[@andreayucis2008]

I too just saw Kate on The Last Homely House add a facing to her quilt, and I loved it! Thank you Joe for sharing this technique!

[@rebeccaswanson2736]

Yep! That’s how I got here 😊

[@hadleywooten3689]

The last homely house told me about this , and I’m sooooo happy to learn about it! Thank you so much! I have a quilt I didn’t want to bind traditionally and this is the perfect solution!! Thank you very much for making my day!!!!&

[@conniebublitz2966]

Yup! Kate sent me! Awesome finish! I would have NEVER known😄

[@jackiem7536]

Guess what. I too have just watched Kate on the Last homely house and am thrilled to see your quilt finishing. I did this on my first ever quilt (baby size) and thought I hadn't done it correctly, so it's still in my UFO pile, as I couldn't face undoing it. I'm now determined to go back to it and finish it. Fortunately, another of my niece's is having a baby shortly...... 😅😅Kind regards from England, Jackie M😊

[@sylvieboucher9266]

I just listened about a few minutes The Last Homely House and heard about your binding method. I am glad to learn it. Thank you for sharing your method!

[@rosalindbranson3803]

Thanks Joe, like the other comments, just popped over from TLHH. Makes a different finish to quilts and so easy too. 👏

[@TJTimberhurst]

Fantastic. Kate at the last Homely House mentioned this and left a link in her latest vlog. I am going to try it next time. Thanks

[@marygallie4629]

Love this Joe! You're the best. You make it short, sweet and to the point. Brilliant! I so appreciate you sharing this method! I'm off to do it right now. Thanks so much.

[@patriciamillar5496]

I too am coming from Kate’s video. Love this facing idea.

[@FayeDarling65]

Brilliant way of facing the quilt prefer it to binding

[@PinkSallyProductions]

That’s so well explained! Thank you 🌹

[@loiskindley1462]

Very clear and concise, thank you Joe! I’m gonna give this a try!

[@eileenkahan8942]

Clearest description I've ever seen! Thx!

[@jenihansen7201]

Just subbed to your channel. Kate from the Last Homely House sent me here.

[@colin101981]

Just watched Nov 2023 - Great video Joe, many thanks - this looks a great technique. I've seen some that use a triangle at the corners, which is nice, but I think I prefer this one. Greetings from North Wales UK. 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂😊😊

[@Joethequilter]

Just negotiating a teaching gig in Northumberland for next October. I can’t wait to see that part of the world and I hope to make time to see the Welsh Quilt Center.

[@colleenmengel1337]

love this technique! Thanks!

[@christineromero1599]

I love this idea going to try it soon when i finish one of my UFO's in a few days actually cheers. Oh I've been following you for years on HGTV and a few other place on TV quilting shows. Thank you for your time.

[@ModArtQuilt]

You Rock Joe!😎

[@kimferguson408]

I too, just found you through Kate! Joe, will you show us more of your quilts? I really like the one in this video but didn’t see enough of it. Thanks!

[@Joethequilter]

@@kimferguson408 you can see a lot of my quilts at my website www.joecunninghamquilts.com

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Very nice to know! I will have to remember to do it this way next time! I'm like an old jersey milk cow headed to the barn when I get to that point... Lol. I think in kids quilts I'll always do it traditional way because those edges get the most wear. Thanks

[@nancymathisen9707]

Sent by Kate too.❤

[@brendahoutz6656]

LOVE that idea. Giving that a try on my next project.

[@richardjones7433]

I do this, I learned it from you. Thank you.

[@superg4117]

great tutorial

[@mambakind]

My goodness! How clever!

[@quiltmekiwi]

Seems we have all come from Kate's fork in the road to you! I love facings too. I have a feeling you are coming to New Zealand to teach this year??

[@susyboyer9764]

I like it! Not every quilt or wall hanging I make needs binding. I am going to try it. And... well, does your wife quilt? Thanks Joe!

[@hadleywooten3689]

😂

[@sandijames6409]

you could even do it the opposite way and then your facing would make a cute border on the front. genius.

[@Iamgone1961]

That's great Jo, thanks for sharing!

[@huisuk]

Awesome great idea

[@donnarichey144]

Do you tuck 1/4 inch under and press before hand sewing or it would be a raw edge, right? I saw a quilter over cast stitch and no binding. That is another option.

[@Joethequilter]

@@donnarichey144 the raw edges are covered just as they would be with a binding

[@carlacutting8646]

Thank you

[@Honeyquilts]

Great demo! Very clear. I have a related question however. I'm about to finish up a 24 by 30" art quilt and use facings for the first time. I also will be putting a 4" hanging sleeve on the back. I'm thinking that might look wonky if the facing underneath is only 2". Then I thought - why not make the top facing wider but leave the other three at 2 ". Or?

[@Joethequilter]

Sounds like an good plan!

[@nbc911]

Thanks Joe

[@roxanelessa5035]

You just pull it all away awound to the back, thanks for the chuckle , Joe!

[@dawnnelson3280]
