I just reread the whole thread.
No one, including me, directly answered this question.

No, you don't have to.
But you would be placing the fabric on different sides depending on how it was printed.

So if you print it out so you can read the letter normally, then you would place your fabric on that side (w/ printing)and sew from the back side (no printing).

If you reversed the print so the B was backwards, then you would place the fabric on the opposite side (no printing), and sew on the side with the printing (w/ printing).

Some software allows you to reverse the printing easily.
I would just suggest that you be consistent so you don't drive yourself crazy.

Although a friend did a quilt for a 3-year old, and did reverse some of the letters - just like the kid did. It was adorable. My friend said she did it intentionally......or maybe it was a clever fix to not have to re-do the letter. :mrgreen:
