Your pattern should say that you lay your fabric all face up, if it needs to be.... Generally if it is not squares that I am cutting, I place all of my fabric right side up...
Take 2 pieces of paper
Place a big X corner to corner on them
Cut out one template right side up on the X side
Cut out one with the template turned over on the X side
Match the pieces with the X sides up
Do they exactly match? If so, you can cut your fabric either side facing up. :wink:
If they don't, then your template is not symetrical and you need to cut with fabrics face up.... If you need reversed ones, the pattern will usually specify how many to cut face up and how many face down...
