Felting inside out or outside in.

[viltmaaraan]

My question is : what is the difference of felting inside out or felting outside in?
What is the reason doing that except getting frustrated?
I was looking at some video's where resist was being used, like brick and stones/cracked earth or mud.
I wanted to use that for my second fish, for the scales of the fish. I have to work that out and have to think as the negatives of a photagrapher.
But before that I got inspired by a video of making a vessel (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fm6qmoxSgis). 
So I start working and used some prefeld within beads as I wanted to use like sibori felting and I used some other surprises.
I can understand that you use to know where to place those embalecements, not at the bottem! Therefore you put a marker of filt so you know where to cut for the opening.
Oke, the first orange vessel was good enough for me. 
I wanted to make the second one with the embalecements and different colors . 
I put no marker.... Stupid,stupid, stupid.
And for the second time (first time with slippers) I made the same mistake, made the cut at the wrong side.
If I want to see the embalecements I have to turn the vessel inside out, close the hole at bottem, cut a new one and than I can reveale the embalecements, otherwise they are at the wrong position.
I am very curious, but I let it be, because this vessel looks so well. 
I prefer making a new one than turn this one around.
So... My question still is; what is the profit of working inside out wich is confusing?

I always work the right way out, but I think it's a personal preference. I know some people believe that working inside out (putting embellishments first) means the embellishments stay where you put them better, but if you felt quite gently at first I don't have a problem with them moving when they are on the top layer.

So, I say you can choose for yourself which you like!

Agree with Jill. If I want my embellishments to stay in place I either cover the work with a net and start rubbing gently slowly increasing the force, or use a sander.

I do agree that it is personal preference. I do find that with beginners, it is easier to keep the embellishments in place if you work inside out because they are usually a bit rough and have trouble going more slowly and gently.

Just do it the way that you prefer. There aren't any hard and fast rules anyways.

Thanks ladys, so .. It isn't because it 'll look better.. 
I'll try again..next week ..maybe.

I do all mine rights side out. Sometimes it's a bit tricky with the parts that wrap around. You just need to be careful.

I've done mine right side out especially if you are doing the cracked mud or shibori. Using markers is always a good idea, if you remember. :-) but you also have to work lightly and keep them from getting felted in.

By the way, they both look nice.

Horses for courses! I do it either way, depending on what I'm making.
