    When people do this to us they are trying to boost themselves by putting others down. They possibly feel insecure. As it happens to all of us, we just need to encourage those sort of people as well - they will soon give up and be more pleasant.(OR less strict in their attitudes).

    how do you recognize their fronts & backs when sewing with other pieces ...?
    how have you dealt with this?

    It really doesn't matter! I'm serious and sincere about that.

    I asked that question last week and was told it did not matter. I even turned some both ways and they worked together. Have fun.

    some quilts are made using both sides of a fabric...giving it a shadowy effect to the blocks

    Fabric is usually folded right sides together on the bolt. That puts your right sides together when you unfold it. Just make a small mark somewhere to remind yourself which is which

    IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use the 'wrong' side all the time if it gives the affect I want.

    Once heard that you paid for both sides of fabric sometimes I have used the back because it looked better no rules there.
