What is the term for the side of fabric that is visible on the outside of the finished project?

• A. Wrong side
• B. Right side
• C. Front side
• D. Outside face

Answer: (B)

The side of fabric that is designed to be visible on the outside is called the right side. In sewing, fabric has a right side (the front, the showable side) and a wrong side (the back, the underside). The right side is usually the smoother or patterned side you want to see in the finished project, while the wrong side is the side that isn’t shown. Some terms like “outside face” aren’t the standard terminology, and “front side” is less precise in this context. So the correct term for the visible exterior is the right side.
