right and wrong side of sheer nylon

[Glennssister]

I am cutting out sheer nylon. does it roll when stretched along the grain, to the top side or the underside. I am cutting out the nightie I should have had made weeks ago.

http://www.ca.uky.edu/hes/fcs/FACTSHTS/CT-MMB-165.pdf. It's a long article but it says that most knit fabrics when stretched on the crossgrain will curl to the right side. The article does give some good info about knits though!

Thank you. I have it cut already to curl to the underside but have plenty more to work with. I'll cut more wuth the cury to the outside.

I don't suppose it really matters either way, with fabric, I just pick the side I like the best and it's the right side!

I agree -- it doesn't matter as long as it's all the same way (unless the other side is showing intentionally).

I once made a jacket that I couldn't decide so I serged the edges with wooly nylon and called it reversible.

thanks girls, Just what I thought too but it helps to have it confirmed.
