    Default directional fabric
    I need some help, I'm making a casserole carrier, I purchased fabric with chicken on it. My problem is it says to lay fabric on fold, if I do that my chickens are going to be upside down on the back. Anyone have any answers? Thank you so much for your help, Michele

    i don't see that as a serious problem. but if it bothers you, you might cut the fabric on the fold, turn around one side and sew it back together?

    That is the problem with directional fabric. Happens too with making grocery totes.

    QuiltnNan, I thought the same thing, but was afraid to try it. I just cut it and it worked out fine. Thank you for your help, Michele
