    Isn't there a saying that goes something like: If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handed people are in their right mind!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbup:

    I won't change the pocket either. There is nothing wrong with it where it is. I'm right handed.

    So now that you have rug mugs for left handed people, make some for right handed people and label both as to what they are if you are giving or selling them.

    Oh yes. I finally found a quilt book which had some left-handed pictures and AT LAST - light dawned...I had been doing everything backwards except sew.
    I still tend to get left, right in and out mixed up and have to redo it, but at least now I have mental images of how to lay out fabric and cut fabric without slicing self.
    The only thing easy is changing the presser foot as the screw is on the LEFT!!! :)

    I am a left handed south paw and I write upside down. I had a teacher in school who demanded that I write with my right hand and she would tie my left arm to the back of my chair to force me to learn to be right handed. Well she tied it so tight and I had marks on my rist. She did it to 3 others who were left handed. The teacher ended up loosing her teaching job. I always called her old lady on a broom stick! I actually cut upside down with a scissors and find it natural and my cutting is strait.

    I'm lefted handed and have NO problems with quilting. Don't understand your problem. With all the left handed tools that are out there now for lefties. Scissors, rotary cutters, etc., we are in better shape than ever before, like more than 45 years ago when I first started sewing.
