Do You Ever Use the Back of Fabric?
I bought a black and white design to use as a sashing and it is just too stark.
I turned it over and the back of the fabric actually looks better...just toned down enough that it looks OK. But, even though I've used the back of a fabric many times in collages, I'm having trouble convincing myself to use it in an entire quilt. Do you do this? Watson |
Yes! You paid for both sides, why not use both sides? This is a great technique for shading fabrics.
|
Definitely. And as for the reverse, I had a glittery fabric that I wanted to use as a back, but was concerned about it being scratchy to sleep with.
|
Yes! If the back of the fabric is the better color then absolutely.
|
Yes I have used the back of fabric before in a quilt. The one caution is, make sure to use the wrong side throughout and no one will know the difference.
|
Absolutely. Using the back is like getting two fabrics for the price of one.
|
The only times I have used the backs of fabric is in watercolor quilts.
|
Yes. In fact may times. Faster than going back to the fab store hoping to find what I need.
|
Yes! Only you know its the back of the fabric.
|
Absolutely I do if it works with rest of colors of the quilt.
