Which white is right..side that is
#13
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.

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. 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.
