Please anyone...... I am trying to sew ear/neck covers for basset girls before winter but can not remember which side of the fleece is right and which is wrong. Does it roll to the right side when pulled or wrong side? (still havent found polar fleece books since moving in) Thank you much.....s

If you are using fashion fleece, the right side will be the one where the base knit is less obvious and any print is less sharp. For real Polartec and other high performance fleece, the anti-pill side looks slightly textured. Otherwise look at the cut edge: the right side will have thicker pile. I've never known good fleece to curl in any direction, and the pile is so dense you cannot see the base knit.
If you pull a vertical cut edge (or selvedge) of fleece it will curl to the right side, and to the wrong side on a crossgrain cut. ( Rochelle Harpers 'Sew the New Fleece') HTH Liz
