How can you determine the fabric's right side from the wrong side?

Determining the right side of a fabric from its wrong side is primarily done by examining the print clarity or the finish of the material. The right side of most fabrics typically has a more refined appearance, which may include clearer prints, a more vibrant color, or a smoother finish. This distinction is important because the right side is what will be visible in the final garment or project, and using the fabric correctly ensures the intended aesthetic is achieved.

Other methods, such as examining texture alone, can be misleading since some fabrics might have a similar texture on both sides. Measuring the fabric's weight does not provide information about the side either, as both the right and wrong sides generally have the same weight. Inspecting selvedge edges can give insight into the fabric type or brand, but it doesn’t definitively indicate which side is the right side. Therefore, checking for print clarity or the finish of the material is the most reliable way to distinguish between the two sides.
