I've used many of my regular cotton fabrics inside out because I liked the ''softness'' of the back/inside of the fabric. When batiks started getting popular about 10 years ago, I fell in love with them and would lay them on the cutting table to get a closer look at the pattern/design. One day I turned the fabric corner back and viola!!! the inside looked better than the outside and I was hooked on Batiks.
Use both sides of your fabric....you paid for both sides!!
