In response to a recent blog post about right and wrong sides of fabric, Pat from Cross-Stitch-Art.com posted this great tip.
She writes, "Fabrics do definitely have a wrong and a right side. Here's how to tell: Take the upper left corner in your left hand and the lower bottom right corner in your right hand and gently pull. The upper right corner will curl toward the right side of the fabric. It will work every time."

All these years and I’ve never given the fabric a thought as to right side, wrong side (except fabric for clothing of course). It makes sense there would be a right and wrong for Aida and evenweave and linens. Thanks for this tip. Easy to do.
