This is really a neat concept, especially for anything you want to hang. Personally, I have never see this technique even though I have been sewing for over sixty years. This is a hack I will definitely use a lot. Thanks for sharing.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Glad you like it!

@AnneSTLMO 8 месяцев назад

I am going to try this in reverse, on a baby quilt. I will make the binding strips a little narrower, the corner triangles a little smaller AND THEN I will apply the facing to the back and fold it over to the front. Then I can do edge stitching and/or top stitching all the way around to secure the binding. Thanks for the idea and clear instructions.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

That should work!

@wjoyes 8 месяцев назад

I'd just wondered about the same! I'm a beginner so pleased to see someone who has more experience than me giving it a go.

@bethholness5153 8 месяцев назад

Love this, I'm going to reverse the facing so it goes on the front. Like a mock border. Must go play with this now, thanks.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Great idea!

@lizcollinson2692 8 месяцев назад

I like that variation too.

@marshalucky 8 месяцев назад

My thoughts too.😊

@dyeitb1ack 8 месяцев назад

Have you tried it? That was my first thought too!

@ceciliaaguiar 8 месяцев назад

How does this work ?

@cinziabeley7059 8 месяцев назад

A really interesting technique! Never come across this idea, and I love the idea of the ready made hanging system due to the corners. Many thanks!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Glad it was helpful!

@EmmaWithJesus 8 месяцев назад

I love this!! I have struggled figuring out how to bind for so long, some techniques have you have one giant long binding strip that you fold backwards and forwards around the corners and it has confused me but this is so crisp and beautiful, I have to try it on a project I've had waiting for finish for 5 years. I am ready for the freedom of having a project finally complete! Thank you and God bless you! I look forward to learning all I can from you! :)

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

So good to hear this will help you finish a long outstanding project! Thank you for watching!

@sheilaisom194 8 месяцев назад

I've been waiting for someone to show something different that's easy. I hate the old binding methods, too much trouble. Thank you so much for this idea, I'm trying it right away on a baby blanket.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Great!

@carollee7832 8 месяцев назад

Have never seen that technique done, but I think it's brilliant, especially for a wall hanging. Thanks for sharing another great hack!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You are so welcome!

@suestutzle2779 8 месяцев назад

I did this facing once on a large quilt-as-you-go baby play mat I made. The quilt was so thick that ordinary binding would be very difficult to sew on but this facing idea was ideal. It worked great. I sewed mine down with the machine so everything was reversable and nothing could catch and tear because it was made to throw on the floor for baby to roll around and play on. Love your cat, looks lovely.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

That's a great idea!

@rosehavenfarm2969 8 месяцев назад

Anyone here for the "facing" technique: it starts at about 6:30.

@linda9731 День назад

Great Teacher! 3-1/2" squares and 2-1/2" wide binding. Easy technique and fantastic results. Thank you for sharing this idea.

@lessonslearnt5966 День назад

You are so welcome!

@momistaken 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, I haven’t seen this method before! A new trick for an old quilter!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You are so welcome!

@jamesf1165 4 месяца назад

You know that you can use Elmer's water soluble washable glue to baste things which is much less expensive than the spray-base. I do it all the time. It washes right out and fluffs right up. At first washing. My needle has no problem going through dried glue and as a bonus it acts like fabrics stabilizer when quilting.

@lessonslearnt5966 4 месяца назад

Yes! I have seen that done. Definitely a more economical and less toxic adhesive.

@conniethomson6266 8 месяцев назад

I have never seen this done before. It looks amazing ❤

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

I hope you try it!

@jdefelice3307 8 месяцев назад

I have been using facing for my table runners 1) I can quilt them out flat (unlike with pillowcasing) 2) I can match the facing to the border so the front and back match, and 3) no bulky binding corners . The gap in the facing corners eliminates the bulk. Love this! Plus you can feel the edge of the facing as you topstitch on the front so you never stray into the backing fabric.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Great tips!

@denisestilling2810 3 дня назад

If that was a contrasting fabric ..attached to the back and flipped to the front it would be an excellent frame …this was inspiring. I would definitely machine stitch it. Thanks for sharing.

@lessonslearnt5966 3 дня назад

Great idea!

@pattucker612 8 месяцев назад

Enjoyed this it was very interesting. I’ve never seen the corners and stuff done like that. Thank you.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@giclat1098 8 месяцев назад

Love how simple and neat the facing edges came out! Definitely saved this one! Thanks! I'm going to try your suggestion to use grey thread!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@karin0963 8 месяцев назад

Genius! I know you said you didn't come up with the idea, but you shared it with us. Thank you. Great tutorial. I like that term, "amazing facing". 😊

@janesturm 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the suggestion of using painters tape for straight line quilting! I needed that idea and this brain does not figure things out anymore, getting old, lol.which is so aggravating because that used to be one of my best parts. Also the technique of facing the darling cat wall hanging.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You’re welcome! Glad you liked my ideas ❤️

@papercents 8 месяцев назад

new subscriber here - wow, what a great technique - haven't seen this before - will definitely be trying this out on my next project. Thank you!

Simple vertical sewing looks really nice👍.

@lessonslearnt5966 4 месяца назад

Yes! Thank you! And anyone can sew straight lines and it always looks great 👍🏻

@KattGothica 8 месяцев назад

I actually think I'd want that border on the front for one I have. Can't wait to use this.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You can do that!

@retroredo9850 8 месяцев назад

You just showed everyone how to finish clothing! I don't quilt! But did take a free motion class to learn how to do decorative sewing. I dont always straight hem unless a stabie woven but especially knits. I make facings like this but still call it binding! I started never folding at seam! I fold over seam! I sometimes do a single fabric not folded if making a large cuff. This is also how to do easy shawl collar on a jacket! I cut many tops including sweatshirts especially okd ones or from thrift straight up front. Slightly V neckline. Add sawlmcolkar and matching cuffs! I also hem unstable knits with a more stable tshirt material cut across non stretch direction! Besides fitting to you at sides that all you do to finish clothing remakes.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Right?! I’ve done many facings on clothing too, but sounds like you do some really cool stuff!

@debralucca7527 8 месяцев назад

I am so glad I came across your channel. I struggle with neat mitered corners. This is a very awesome way to finish a quilt. Thanks so much ❤

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

@ellenbarry758 4 месяца назад

That’s a clever way to finish the project. I love the idea of hanging it with the corners

@georgiapeach6704 8 месяцев назад

I love this method. I want to do this with a fleece blanket to embellish it with the corners a print and the facing a solid and on the front instead of the back. Thank you.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Great idea!

@ginettelefebvre8817 8 месяцев назад

Hi Sheri. I love your adorable wall hanging. Thank you for showing how to do 'facing' . It's perfect for the wall hangings... if I find it easier I might do it on a quilt. Beautiful cat... thanks fir the chat and hugs

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much!❤️

@catharinebiddy9534 8 месяцев назад

This is a very nice way to finish a wall hanging/ quilts. Thank you for sharing!!❤️

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You are so welcome!

@kitikatter 8 месяцев назад

Am I the only one who would make it the other way around with contrasting fabric? So that the triangles shows on the front, thereby framing the piece? The straight pieces can be folded and ironed beforehand, and then just stitched down (machine or invisible hand stitch). Love that cat!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

You are not alone! You could certainly do that.

@safarichey 8 месяцев назад

Thankyou. I am going to do mine that way as well. None of those botched bindings on the front. YAY

@jeancarver6599 8 месяцев назад

I LOVE this technique!!!! I can't wait to try it on the baby quilt I'm making!!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

@marshawallace7522 8 месяцев назад

Your tutorial was easy to understand and I like the technique as a different option instead of binding. I truly enjoy binding my quilts the traditional way although it took many projects before I wasn't intimidated by the process. Practice makes it easier! This is the first of your videos I've seen... following you now.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Yes! Personally, I will bind my larger quilts the traditional way as well.

@barbaraness4507 8 месяцев назад

13:44 Oh, ok. I was wondering what you were up to!😂 That’s so neat!

@margealbanese1818 2 месяца назад

Sheri, I’ve watched this a couple of times and am sure now that I’m going to try it out on my grandson’s Steampunk wall hanging I’m making for his birthday in May. Then I will do it on my latest project, a throw that is about 58 x 58. The border of the throw is small squares and a regular binding would take up too much space. Thanks for the video, it is a great option!

@sallinelson2364 8 месяцев назад

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

I hope you try it!

@kathyteague829 8 месяцев назад

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

@janetdowning1443 8 месяцев назад

This is brilliant, if you sew the binding on the back first an a different colour from front will make a lovely & different binding on the front. Makes binding a whole lot easier. Thank you ❤😊

I like the clean look on the front. I made a patchwork blanket with chenille bedspreads from the 50/60s that i've been collecting and this will be a perfect finish to not detract from the pretty patterns and colours. Thank you for this technique. I now know what it's called.

@daleodberg6714 4 месяца назад

I like how your first showed it with no border showing at top or bottom,, like you mentioned I would do an invisible hand stitch.. the sewing machine stitch kind of disrupts the flow, the magic. It is beautiful, thank you. 🌸

@queenslanddiva 8 месяцев назад

That's great for me, never been able to do the other kind of binding. That would also look really nice with the back side on the front for place mats. Thank you.

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

@mariejohns1387 8 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness Sherri!! This is amazing! Im fairly newish to quilting. Everything I have learned was from you tube videos. I am one of those who haven’t mastered binding. I have heard if facing and my quilt guild did a short program on it but I didn’t understand it. Thanks so much!! Great option!!

@lessonslearnt5966 8 месяцев назад

Wonderful! Try it out on your next project 😉👍🏻
