(question to the class)
How do you think. Why do we guys need to know this?
(students offer various answer options, the teacher asks, if necessary, leading questions, gives some comments,)
Communication of new material (+ P/R)
Front and back side.
Textile - textile fabric , made on a loom.
The fabric consists of two interwoven threads arranged perpendicularly. The system of threads running along the fabric is calledbasis , and the system of threads located across the fabric -duck .
The surface of the fabric depends on the finishing characteristics of the fabrics.
Now, let’s take fabric samples in our hands and look at them carefully...
Signs of identifying facialand the wrong side of the fabric(§3, pp.15-16)
There are single-sided and double-sided fabrics. Remember that determining the right side and back side plays an important role when cutting clothes.
In single-sided fabrics, the front and back sides are sharply different from each other. In double-sided fabrics this difference is almost unnoticeable, i.e. both sides can be used for cutting.
Question. What influences the correct identification of the front side of the material?
The nature of the front side of the fabric depends on:
Purpose;
Appearance of the product;
Processing during product manufacturing
Properties of fabrics.
Girls, in the last lesson we worked with you to create clothing models from various materials.
Question. Did you encounter any difficulties while doing your job?What questions have arisen?
In order not to make a mistake in choosing fabric for the manufacture of any product, you must be able to correctly determine the properties that they possess. The properties of the fabric influence the choice of model and processing of the product.
The main properties of fabrics include mechanical, physical and technological.

The table is filled using the material(§3, pp. 16-17 and other work. pp. 18-19)
Strength - the ability of the fabric to resist tearing. This is one of the important properties affecting the quality of the fabric.
Wrinkleability - the ability of fabric to form folds during compression and pressure on it.
Drapability - the ability of the fabric, when it hangs, to fall in soft rounded folds. It is no coincidence that curtains and curtains on windows are called draperies.
Wear resistance- the ability of the fabric to withstand the effects of friction, stretching, bending, compression, moisture, light, sun, temperature, sweat, etc.; depends on the strength of the fabric fibers.
Thermal properties- the ability of fabric to retain the heat of the human body; depends on the composition, thickness and type of finishing of the fabric.
Hygroscopicity– the ability of fabric to absorb moisture.
Dust capacity - the ability of the fabric to retain dust and other contaminants.
Slip - can occur when cutting and stitching fabrics and depends on the smoothness of the fabrics and the type of weave.
Shatterability - lies in the fact that the threads are not held along the open sections of the material and slip out, crumble, forming a fringe.
Shrinkage - reduction in fabric size under the influence of heat and moisture, depends on fiber composition, structure and finishing.
And now, having received new knowledge, we will continue to work on creating clothing models.

Even at the stage of choosing fabric, you should decide on its front and back sides, because the appearance of the product will depend on this. Confusion can lead to a fatal error when cutting, and the item will be damaged. The result can be affected not only by a lack of knowledge, but also by lighting, so it is not advisable to examine the fabric in the evening or in too bright light. There are a number of criteria that will help to correctly determine the aspects of matter and allow you to avoid common mistakes.
In this article we will summarize the experience of professional tailors, which will be useful to a wide range of readers.
Determine the front and back sides of the fabric
Fabrics can be single- or double-sided. In the first, the front and back sides have large differences that cannot be ignored. The latter have identical or slightly different sides. Moreover, for some materials only one of them is used, while for others the back and face are equivalent.
Fabrics with a woven pattern have a clearer texture on the front side. Such materials include jacquard and guipure with cord thread. They can combine jacquard and printed patterns.
The weaving of satin and satin is characterized on the front side by the presence of a hem located at different angles. In addition, the front surface is smoother, shiny and pleasant to the touch, unlike the back.
Twill is easily distinguished by the rib on both sides, which is located at an angle of 45º, but on each side it has a different direction. On the front surface, the scar goes from left to right and from bottom to top, and from the back - vice versa. Twill lining fabrics are characterized by a silky shiny surface on the front side, and on the back it is rough and matte, as cotton thread is used in production.
Finishing the fabric with sequins, metallic thread, embossing and embroidery - all this allows you to easily identify the front side. And in mixed fabrics, more expensive material is used for the front surface. In any case, the front side will look more attractive and richer, so it’s impossible to make a mistake.
Single-sided flannel can be puzzling to a novice tailor, as it is difficult to distinguish the sides - the plain weave and pile are present on both sides. Moreover, the back and front sides are colored the same.
The front side of the drapes is distinguished by a smoothed pile and a pattern that has one direction, or a dense pattern in the absence of pile. Loose weaving is a distinctive feature of the reverse side of this fabric. You will have to take a closer look at a double-sided drape: from the inside, the pattern is less clear, or the pile does not look very neat.
Broadcloth also presents certain difficulties when determining the sides of the fabric. This is due to the fact that the plain weave is tufted. The front side can be identified by the woven colored thread. If you forcefully run your fingers along the surface of the fabric on both sides, then the wrong side will be the side with less dense pile and worse surface quality.
If the signs listed above cannot be determined, then they are guided by the properties of the surface. The side with a higher quality fabric, a minimum number of defects and a smooth surface is the front side.
The presence of fluff can be used as a criterion when studying cotton and linen fabrics with smooth coloring and plain weave. To assess the brightness of the fabric and the presence of lint, you need to shine light on the material along its surface.
The quality of the edge and the presence of holes on it is the only sign that can indicate the front or back side. The edge with the best quality serves as a sign of the front side. Holes in the fabric are formed by tension on the calenders, even at the stage of finishing the material. However, these signs can also be deceiving. Not always, as is commonly believed, the convex side of the holes is on the front side; their reverse arrangement is also possible.
Determining the sides of a grosgrain weave can be difficult. Reps are made not only from cotton fibers, but also from synthetic silk. It, like crepe and tartan, is a double-sided material, which makes it impossible to find differences between the back and the face.
When considering woolen fabrics, you should pay attention to the brightness of the colored threads: the side with the more saturated color is considered the front side. If the material is rolled up, then the front side of it faces inward.
It happens that the cutter has a desire to deliberately use the wrong side. The discrepancy between the views of the authors of the fabric and the opinions of the tailor is a normal phenomenon. If the reverse side seems more attractive for creating an outfit, then you need to follow your feelings. Moreover, no one will know which side was considered the front side.
Working with fabric requires care, the final result depends on it. The product should not have defects, so when cutting it is important to correctly determine the wrong side.
For most fabrics it is visually different, but, for example, with chiffon or organza this is impossible, so there are other methods of recognition.
Weaving factories also produce double-faced fabrics; in this case, the seamstress independently chooses which side to cut on.
These include:
Such materials can be used for sewing various products - coats, capes, jackets, blazers, ponchos.
It is very easy to distinguish the back side from the front side if you buy a printed canvas. You need to lay out the pattern on it where the pattern is dull. The “face” of printed fabrics is easily determined. From the outside the image is bright, clear, saturated, but from the inside it looks faded.
You can easily identify the right side of jacquard and printed fabrics. In the process of weaving threads on the machine, a relief is formed on top. The underside is smoother. On it you will not see the knots typical of Chanel and bouclé fabrics.
What if you have to work with a plain fabric? The reverse sides of silk, satin, and satin are matte. The gloss and shine of the fibers is present only on the outside. It is easy to find out where the wrong side of a smooth fabric is: on it the surface is more fleecy, weaving defects (knots, thickening of the thread) are found.
Any fabric has a sealing weave on both edges to prevent fraying. It is called a selvage, which is created by introducing an additional thread (sometimes it may differ in color). It is visible only from the front side of the fabric. If you notice symbols in the form of letters, numbers or inscriptions, place the canvas in a convenient position for reading, this will be the front part.
The surest sign of identification is the punctures made by the loom along the edge. The needles are inserted from the wrong side, holes are formed, therefore, bulges are formed on the front side, which are felt tactilely.
This method helps dressmakers figure out how to cut correctly:
The edges of some fabrics are not punctured. In this case, look carefully: where the surface is smooth, there is a “face”. On the reverse side it is rough, with nodules and thickenings.
In order not to be mistaken in determining the wrong side, ask the seller to make a mark with a tailor's chalk upon purchase. Just don’t delay cutting, the image may disappear after a while. If you have tried all the methods, but still cannot determine where the face is and where the wrong side of the fabric is, place the pattern on the side that you like best, the main thing is not to confuse them in the process.
When purchasing fabric for sewing any product, before you start cutting, it is very important to accurately determine the back and front sides of the fabric. However, this is not always quite simple. The canvas may look exactly the same from all sides, but you can notice flaws in its appearance and understand that you started sewing from the inside out only when the product is ready.
There is a tendency in textile factories to produce double-sided fabrics that are absolutely identical on both sides. They are usually called two-faced. This is quite convenient, because then there is no need to determine the wrong side before sewing the product. But this is the exception rather than the rule. If the material you choose is not of this type, then you need to remember seven simple basic rules that will tell you where the wrong side of the fabric is:
It’s not difficult to determine the wrong side, you just need to take a closer look at the details. In some cases, if you are dealing with plain fabrics without prints, this does not play such a big role. For the front side, you can take the one that seems to you to be of the highest quality. In the future, it is important not to get confused only when making product parts.
If you decide to choose a fabric in order to sew something with your own hands, then our online store “Barbatextile” is an excellent choice. In our store you can find a complete catalog of various natural, synthetic, blended fabrics at competitive prices, both retail and wholesale. Order from us, and you will always be confident in the quality of the purchased product!
According to www.hunky-dory.ru, in the descriptions of models there are quite often abbreviations that clarify that you are knitting on the front side (knit) or on the wrong side (purl). Often such clarifications precede a whole series of instructions.It is easier to distinguish the front side from the back side when several rows are knitted and the pattern is visible. Of course, this also depends on the type of loops used. To understand which side you are knitting on, you can also focus on the free end of the thread hanging at the beginning of the product.
If this thread is in the left corner of the product, then you knit on the front side and, conversely, if it is in the right corner, then you knit on the wrong side. This is explained by the fact that the base row following the initial chain of chain stitches is knitted from right to left.
If you are knitting a single fabric and using a type of stitch that has a different structure on the front and back sides, then you can choose which side is considered the “front” side. At the same time, some complex patterns, in which several colors of yarn are used, have an easily recognizable reverse side.
Some types of loops have a similar structure on the front and back sides. To distinguish them, you can look at the free end of the thread hanging at the beginning of the product.
If the front side of the product is in front of you, then this thread will be in the lower left corner. And, conversely, other types of loops have a different structure on the front and back sides.
The description often specifies which side of the product should be worked on: the front (front) or the back (purl). As a rule, these abbreviations precede a description of the work on the product shape.
When knitting complex multi-colored patterns, it is very important to be able to distinguish between the front and back sides, since unused threads of the motifs should be pulled along the wrong side.
