I was born left handed, but they switched me when I started school which really messed with my brain! lol I can do things equally with both hands except write. :)

Me too. I wonder why they felt it necessary to switch lefties to righties.
I'm not so great with using my left hand now. I quilt with my right hand.

I'm a lefty too. I can do a couple of things right handed, but quilting is definately not one of them. :)

I am a righty too. My mom was a lefty and when she was in Catholic school they would hit her hand with a ruler to make her write right handed so she ended up writing left handed but she had to curve her hand around to look like she was writing right handed. I think back in those days they thought that something was mentally wrong with being left handed.
