Learn two different ways to finish off your quilts with easy techniques.
Skill Level: All Levels

Facing a quilt is an easy way to finish an edge without the visual bulk of a binding or other techniques. I use it almost all the time.

As a matter of fact, I attach my label and sleeve to the facing - by machine - before sewing the facing to the quilt. Therefore, I don't have to do ANY hand sewing as part of the finishing process! I love that.

In this class you'll learn the advantages of facing a quilt, two different methods, and lots of tips. 

The class is primarily composed of short videos. Because they're segmented and well-labeled it's very easy to find exactly what you need.

You have immediate and indefinite access to the class as soon as you enroll. You'll have plenty of access to me, too, via email.
