Post Motors going wrong direction

Hi, i'm building polargraph from a vitamin kit and i followed the instructions on the wiki.
The problem i'm having now is that steppers moved the wrong direction both High/low and right/left so i changed the right with the left and now are moving correctly High/down but uncorrectly left/right.

What can i make to correct this? I have to change the wires 1/2 go 3/4 on both Motors?

Thank you

Why not try it and see what happens?

Be methodical.

swapped the motors and reversed the cables on both motors as in your tutorial!
