If you mark the back side before you cut it, it's a lot quicker - you only have to decide once! I use chalk pencil and mark every few inches, depending on what size pieces I'll be cutting.

Great ideas!! Thanks!! I have had issues as well -- with both white and black.

Here is a great foolproof tip for white on white. Take your piece, place it on top of your thigh (yes thats right). Flip it over a couple of times and you easily be able to tell which is right side. The print side of WOW will show up brighter than the wrong side.

Glad I'm not in the "boat" alone. LOL

If one of my pieces decides to hide it's face, I usually find it while I am quilting it together. I just let it hide, and say it is part of the quilt's character. lol

Great idea!

I do the x mark also , even though when I ask this very question on here years back they told me if I couldn't tell the difference then it didn't matter use any side I wanted to, so at that time I did just that. :)

I just had this problem yesterday. Tone on Tone white, I would get through a few pieces and then realize I didnt make sure they were right side facing:mad:. I did go through the stack and make sure they were all right sides up so I didnt do that again.:)

I'm using Kona white while doing the Craftsy BOM and dang if I can tell which is the right side. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. It's hard. The wrong side seems to be whiter and a looser weave, to me. Am I right? It doesn't seem like the weave could be looser on one side, but it looks that way. Maybe I'm explaining it wrong. Maybe I should say that you can see the bare thread laying there...not all woven like it should be. Anyway, my blocks have both side on it. And I work only during the day. And I have good lighting. What's my excuse? I think I get tired of checking. Now I will mark an X on the wrong side BEFORE I cut. Ohhhh, 16 days until a new BOM! Can't wait!!!! I'm all caught up.
