How to distinguish between the front and back of the fabric?

Apr 19, 2024

Distinguishing between the front and back of the fabric:

(1) The pattern and color on the front of general fabrics are clearer and more beautiful than on the back. (Some special fabrics may be the opposite, and can be selected according to the usage situation)

(2) Fabrics with striped and patterned designs and color schemes must have clear and pleasing patterns on the front.

(3) Convex and convex fabrics: The front is tight and delicate, with stripe or patterned raised patterns, and the reverse side is relatively rough, with a long floating line.

(4) Fleece fabric: A fabric with single side fuzzing, with the plush side on the front side. For fabrics with double-sided fuzzing, the smooth and neat side of the fuzz is used as the front of the fabric.

(5) In general, the smooth and neat side of the fabric edge is the front side of the fabric.

(6) Double layer and multi-layer fabrics: If the warp and weft densities on the front and back are different, there is generally a higher density on the front or the material on the front has a better texture.

(7) Gauze fabric: The side with clear patterns and protruding warp is the front.

(8) Towel fabric: The side with high density of loops is the front.

(9) Printed fabric: The side with clear patterns and bright colors is the front.

(10) Whole piece fabric: Except for export products, those with instructions (trademarks) pasted and factory inspection seals are generally on the reverse side.

Most of the fabrics we use have obvious differences between the front and back, but there are also many fabrics with almost identical front and back, which can be applied on both sides. Therefore, it is not necessary to force a distinction between the front and back of such fabrics.
