Monochrome Jersey: Which is the right side?
Since I am currently back on the "beanie trip" and have washed several jersey fabrics before cutting, I noticed that jersey rolled up differently at the edges:
- To the selvages (there the fabric was fixed in the loom, the threadline runs always parallel to the selvedges ...) it rolls to the left side of the fabric = to the "ugly" side.
- To the cut edges but, which run at right angles to the selvages, it rolls exactly opposite, ie to the right side of the fabric.
Knowing this is helpful when monochrome Fabrics are so tightly knitted that you can not see with the naked eye, which is the right or left side of the fabric. Now it may be that one or the other says "Yes, then it does not matter anyway how I cut the pieces of fabric". I would like to point out, however, that one recognizes the difference between the right and left side of the fabric after the completion of some textiles when ignoring the fabric sides, because the light is reflected differently. The situation is similar. B. velvet or cord with the so-called. Line direction, ignoring a garment can ruin visually :-(
