I remember thinking in class, “But, you’ve told us never to eat, drink and always wash our hands. How are we going to get our fabric dirty?” Of course I drink diet coke while sewing now and I’ve change to right sides out for several reasons. I like to see the pattern placement of the print. I’ve started tracing full pattern pieces so that I have a complete front to be very sure I don’t put a bullseye in an inappropriate (for me) spot. Also, it is easier to mark with tracing paper with the wrong sides facing each other. I can place the fabric pieces together when I go to sew without manipulating them even more. I am more concerned with my fabric pieces shifting than I am with my Diet Coke spilling.

Mostly rightside in is what I use because it is easy to pin mark critical pattern markings such as darts. (But to mark with dressmaker carbon paper and a tracing wheel then right side out is the way to go). But when I must match fabric design I will either lay it out right side out or in a single layer.
