# How to Make a Scalloped Edge on a Quilt Using Facing
If you have a plain quilt you would like to dress up, embellish it with iron-on scalloped facing. You can purchase this fabric embellishment at your local sewing notions store. Iron-on scalloped facing looks a lot like narrow ribbon. It has an adhesive backing that melts into the quilt face and adheres securely to the surface with heat from an iron.
