Lefty quilters needed
#11
I am ambidextrous... only thing I have noticed is when cutting I switch hands without even noticing. One of my friends was watching and asked me how I do that! Nice thing is that it doesn't matter where I am placed in a room, I can cut anywhere.

I use right-handed scissors on my left hand...but that's only because, my teacher never had left handed scissors in her classroom (Catholic school with nuns as teachers). They thought that being left-handed was some kind of defect or something...so they would give me right-handed scissors so as to encourage me using my right hand.
I adapted and learned to use those darn scissors on my Left Hand!...LOL

I am a lefty and the main difference is I have to use left handed scissors (which cost more than righties). I have adjusted to the cutting boards etc., but I have wondered how different it would be to have a sewing machine that was made backwards, with the opening and needle on the right side instead of the left, just a curiosity, might not make any difference at all.

Elias Howe was a lefty so machines are already made for lefties, :-)
