I believe it is that way, so that you can see the lines that you drew so you
can sew on them. Don't know if I explained it too well, but hope so. That
is what happens when I paper piece, never did it onto fabric myself, but
eventually one of these day's will try it on muslin.

The instructions tell you to trace the outline of the beach huts and
sailing
boats onto calico and then " turn the foundation fabric over to the side
you
have not drawn on and place the first piece of fabric right side up over
the
position of the centre square. Hold the calico up to the light to ensure
the
placement is correct."

I'm sure I'm missing something here but why turn the foundation fabric
over
? The pattern is symmetrical, I can't see how the pencil lines where you
trace the template will be seen when the block is finished and it seems to
make the whole thing unnecessarily complicated. I've got masses of fairly
thick unbleached cotton that I'd like to use for foundation but I can't
really see through it that well.

My family can't see it either !
