Someone posted awhile back that they learned "dimples up, pimples down." Not a particularly attractive phrase, but more accurate.
I just imagine which way the needles go in and go from there.

I am just looking at the pictures-the one with all the little brown flecks, which feels less smooth, is the side that goes up, and that's what it says on the picture. The W&N site says the same so I'll just remember the flecks touch my quilt top (maybe I'll write that down in my machine's manual). To me the cleaner side is smoother but maybe to others the cleaner side feels bumpy.
I tried Hobbs and hated it. When I smoothed it out, it got all stretched and wonky. I finally finished the one I had on hand-I used it for smaller projects and thought I'd never get rid of it.
