how do you recognize their fronts & backs when sewing with other pieces ...? how have you dealt with this? {i'm waiting for somebody to say it doesn't really matter!} :thumbup: |
OOPS double post...:

Use the side you like the best! :XD:

I asked that question last week and was told it did not matter. I even turned some both ways and they worked together. Have fun.
|
some quilts are made using both sides of a fabric...giving it a shadowy effect to the blocks
|
Glad you asked the question - i also thought there was not a right and wrong side - so glad to actually hear that i was right. Happy sewing further everyone

Fabric is usually folded right sides together on the bolt. That puts your right sides together when you unfold it. Just make a small mark somewhere to remind yourself which is which
|
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use the 'wrong' side all the time if it gives the affect I want.
|
Once heard that you paid for both sides of fabric sometimes I have used the back because it looked better no rules there.
