====Bias edge====
This is where a reinforcing strip of cloth is wrapped over the raw edge of the neck hole or cuffs. It is usually of the same material and colour as the tunic or shirt. Although we use the term bias edge, the cloth used does not need to be cut on the bias (diagonal). A strip 5cm (2”) wide is usually sufficient.

====Facing====
This is where an additional reinforcing strip of cloth is sewn onto an edge of a piece of clothing around the neck hole and cuffs. The strip is usually of the same material on shirts but can be of a contrasting colour on tunics. Facings can only be up to 8cm (3”) wide before 1042AD. After this wider facings may be used.
