I don't like the way the paint flakes off when I sew. I have a bit in my stash to use up and avoid it when fabric shopping even though I've had to pass on some nice looking fabric.

I have struggled with some white on white background fabric.
* difficult to tell which is back or front! hope they are all correct
* difficult to hand embroider the designs on this quilt
why do I keep buying it? Spot the 2 wrong way round. Put it right when I joined them.

Another way to figure it out, is to hold it up to the machine light and move it around a little. Usually, I can see the "paint" by doing that.
And I have some quilts with pieces in the wrong way. Only I know where they are and only if I really look for them, so I think it is no big deal. LOL

You bought both sides of the fabric, so you can use either side. I have used the "wrong" side of white-on-white or white-on-cream fabrics in projects where I wanted to "tone" down the color contrast (especially on the cream fabrics). Other projects I have used the brighter, printed side. As I said, you own both sides and you can do what you want. Neither is right nor wrong and no one will criticize your choice.
