bayside54...I have a difficult time knowing which is the right side of some jelly rolls. I, too, would like to know if there is a way to know. Thanks

Ditto!

Just make sure that whatever side you use be consistent thru the whole quilt cause there may be minor differences that may not show up until everything is together. Just my thought!

Sometimes there is a little more sheen to one side versus the other, but if that is not the case with your fabric, then sew to your heart's content.

I have a lot of trouble with white on white fabric. I use my black light for those. The pattern just POPS out. The other ones get the "dot treatment". I use those little sticky dots found at the office supply stores or a chalk mark (depends on color of fabric) to show the right side which is whatever I decided it to be but I will be consistent. It can be amazing how what looked like the right side in one light situation will look so wrong in another.

Whatever side I use is the right side. :-D

I agree with others....whatever side looks the best to you is the right side.

I have often used a print fabric with one side for the dark color and then turned it over and used the same material for the light color in a pattern.

You're the artist and whatever you decide is the correct choice for you.

Have fun.

The may sound terrible, but I went to the Goodwill and found Black sheets, both fitted and flat. Now it is easy to find the top, and once I cut them, I put a chalk check, (say that 6 times) :D on the top of the cut fabric. Is that wrong? :oops:

If you can't decide on the right/wrong side then it doesn't matter. Nobody else will know either. Whatever works for you.

If you can't tell the difference, don't worry about it.
