Facing
A shaped piece of fabric sewn to an edge such as a neckline, armhole, or hem and turned to the inside to finish the raw edge cleanly.
Piping
A folded bias strip encasing a cord, inserted into a seam so a raised, corded edge shows along the seamline as a decorative or defining detail.
Self-facing
A facing cut as an extension of the garment piece itself and folded back, rather than as a separate attached piece.
Shaped facing
A facing cut to mirror the exact curve of the edge it finishes, such as a neckline or armhole facing, rather than a straight strip.
Understitching
A row of stitching through the facing and seam allowances, close to the seam, that keeps the facing from rolling to the outside of the garment.
