I will just stick with a binding to finish off my quilts.

I know it as a "knife edge finish." It's where you turn the raw edges of the quilt to the inside (abt. 1/4") and close the edge with a blind stitch or ladder stitch.

Thank you, Tartan. Love to try new methods.

Knife edge is not the same as facing, but both are finishes that don't require binding.

That was amazing....I wish I had known how to do that when I had similar points.....I did regular binding and it was a pain.....

I learned how to do different facings, plain and simple from this book: Just Around the Corner by Kari M Carr

For a no show edge for the front, I turn the border to the back.

Facing are used on art quilts as the finishing edge rather than a binding. This gives the art quilt a more "finished" look than a binding does.
