The front side of the fabric, where the pattern is strongest and the colors are brightest, is called the right side. The back side of the fabric, where the pattern is weaker and the colors tend to be muted, is called the wrong side. This is very important to determine before cutting out pieces of fabric because different pattern pieces will need to be placed on the right side or the wrong side to have the fabric face the correct way.
