When customers choose clothing materials in shops, they often find that some fabrics are not easy to distinguish between the front and back; clothing shops in the row of material cutting and sewing garments, a little negligence, it is easy to mistake the front and back of the fabric, so that the garment color shades are not uniform, the pattern does not match, affecting the beauty of the shape. Therefore, it is very important to identify the front and back sides of the fabric for the purchase of clothing materials and cutting and sewing. To determine the positive and negative sides of a garment, you can generally use the method of eye and hand touch. In particular, the following aspects can be mastered.

(1) Identification based on the pattern and color of the fabric. The front of the fabric pattern, pattern clear and distinct, clean and meticulous, with bright colors; the reverse side is more fuzzy and dull than the front, pattern lack layers.

(2) Identify according to the pile. Corduroy, flat velvet, silk velvet, etc. are the front side of the pile without pile, flatter; for double-sided pile fabric, the front side of the pile and neater, and the reverse side is less pile.

(3) According to the characteristics of the edge of the fabric identification. In the general fabric edge, the front side is flatter than the reverse side, brace, and the reverse side of the edge of the fabric edge is curled inward. Some high-grade garment fabrics, such as tweed, have word codes or other text on the edge of the fabric. This is when the text on the front side of the fabric is clear, obvious, and clean; while the text on the reverse side is more blurred and counter-written.

(4) Identification according to trademark and seal. The whole fabric of domestic production for domestic sale is generally affixed with trademark and product instruction on the reverse side and stamped with factory date and inspection seal at the two ends of each horse and section. For export products, the trademark and seal are affixed to the front of the fabric.

(5) According to the form of packaging identification. For textile products packaged in piles, the side of each fabric head facing outwards is the reverse side. In the case of double-width fabrics, the inside layer is the front side and the outside layer is the reverse side.

Note: In addition, there are individual fabrics with chic patterns and soft colors on the reverse side. Therefore, they can also be used as the front side of the fabric when cutting and sewing. For jacquard and striped fabrics, the stripes, checks, and jacquards on the front side should be more pronounced and layered than on the reverse side, with bright and even colors. For plain, twill, and satin garment fabrics, the frontal stripe is obvious, and the fabric surface is flat and smooth. In short, to identify the positive and negative sides of fabrics, comprehensive consideration should be made of many aspects to draw the right conclusion.

Not all printed fabrics have a backward flow, it should be determined according to the specific pattern. For example, complete patterns, portraits, cars and boats, buildings and towers, woods, etc., should not be inverted, otherwise, they will affect the appearance effect.
Fabrics with asymmetrical lattices are called "yin and yang lattices" and those with asymmetrical lattices are called "inverted lattices". Attention should be paid to making the whole piece of clothing consistent, otherwise, the check will be confusing and affect the appearance of the modeling effect.

Identify the inverted smoothness of fluffy fabrics. Corduroy, golden velvet, and flat velvet all have a thicker layer of fluff on the surface. The smooth ones are light in color, bright in luster, and feel smooth when touched by hand; the inverted ones are dark in color, dark in luster, and feel rough when touched by hand. For fluffy fabrics, when we make clothes, we should pay special attention to the problem of inverted smooth hair, so that the whole garment fabric is inverted smooth consistent. Otherwise, the color will be different shades in natural light, the luster is different and the appearance is not good. It is generally better to take the reverse direction, if it is a shiny fabric also pay attention to the fabric's reverse smooth consistency.
