Coated in or coated out on 10/26/2010 16:27:03 MDT Print View

Working on a project and my mind is drawing a blank....

I think it's coated on the outside for Nylon oxford but I can't remember for sure and I have 20 yards to sew... The longest french fell seam I will make is 17' so I want to make sure I put the correct side on the top!

Thanks

Hello: I actually don't think it matters really which side is in or out with a coating like this, since either way it will stop moisture from going all the way through the fabric.

When I have worked with a coated nylon packcloth, I put the coated side in, and the more finished looking side on the outside. Works fine. Good luck!

I normally put the coating on the inside to protect it.
