O.C. (location will be edited later) says that prior to hagbah (Torah lifting), the magbihah should roll the Torah so that the seam separating two pieces of parchment will be in the center when he lifts.
Is there any halacha dictating the direction to locate the seam? Forwards, backwards or in the direction that will confuse the Ba'al Kri'ah the next time he has to read :-?
