Right Side, Wrong Side

When sewing, it is important to know which side is which. Yes, that sounds confusing but believe me, it is important!

Basically, all fabric has a wrong side or a right side.

The wrong side is the side with the light, faded print of the fabric. Mostly, we do not use this side as it isn't as fuller or as brighter as the right side.

The right side is the side with the bolder, more fuller colours of the print. This is the side we use the most for sewing.

Sometimes we can have trouble deciding which is which, as some fabrics sides are really similar.

If you have any trouble deciding, take a photo of both sides and show me in the comments.

Fortunately, as you deal with more fabrics, you get used to telling which side is which.
