Reply To: Right Side Of Fabric

[the_professors_assistantKeymaster]

This post really should be corrected…. the “right” side of the fabric is the side on which the selvedge holes are raised (ie. you can feel them under your fingertips). A good way to prove this is to inspect a patterned woven fabric where the right side is visually obvious… you will see that the holes on the side intended for the outside of the garment are raised, not smooth. I’ve been sewing by this rule for 35 years and it’s not wrong!
