I watch this tutorial every time I need to bind an art quilt with a facing. It is far and away the best method of accomplishing this task that I have found and I like watching Rachel sew. It is like having her in my sewing room sewing right beside me.
You just made my job 100% easier. I always felt I was losing my effect of the wall hanging with binding the beautiful artwork. Now this is an awesome technique.
Thanks for sharing your method of doing the facing. It is different than what I do, and will try it next time. I sew the 1/8 inch on the facing on all sides. Will try it soon and share picture.
Rachel, This video tutorial is so helpful! If I want to attach a hanging sleeve, do I sew the sleeve on top of the facing? Have you ever made a video on how to attach a hanging sleeve? thank you!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Yes, you do sew the hanging sleeve by hand onto the facing. I do have a video on how to make a hanging sleeve. You have a membership to Artful Quilting: Check out the end of Square Within a Square Quilt – Video Three. Can’t wait to see your quilt!
