Not usually. On a printed fabric, the design is sharply defined on the front side. The printed design generally does not penetrate to the back of the fabric.Originally Posted by skefferz
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but this is the mark of a poor quality square. A good print should penetrate substantially to the other side, let's say at least 75%. Many folds, such as the reverse puff will show both sides of the square, so this is important. I pay attention to this when sourcing fabric, and this constraint is very limiting; there are many great designs that I can't use because they don't penetrate deeply enough to the reverse side. If you look at, for example, Hermes squares and scarves they have very good penetration, around 90%. I'm generally not a fan of their designs, but there is no question that Hermes printing is top quality.
