I cannot tell which is the wrong side/right side of my slinky fabric. How do I tell. I read something about curl but I just didnt understand. Can anyone help?

Emily, I have some notes from a workshop with Emma Seabrooke who does many things in slinky. She says that the right side has a matte finish and the wrong side is more shiny.
That doesn't address your curl question, though. That rule of thumb is applied by pulling slightly on the cut edge of a knit (across grain); it will curl slightly to one side of the fabric. I'm sorry that I don't know whether it curls toward the right or wrog side of slinky.
