What does the sewing term fold facing, or facing fold mean?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

A facing is the area of a garment or sewn item that turns to the inside, giving a finished appearance to what would otherwise just be a raw edge of fabric. The facing is usually interfaced to add shape to the edge of the fabric.

Basically it means to fold the facing in half
