    Please do make certain that no one tries to change him because my mother had tried it with my brother (who is older than I am) and the doctor really chewed her out for it. He said let the child alone or you could possibly mess up his mind. So when I came along and started being left-handed, she didn't bother trying to change me.

    My sister was a lefty and she had to repeat the 4th grade (back in the 60's) because her teacher spent the whole year trying to get her to write with her right hand so she missed learning the actual work.

    My sister, who is left handed and lives in Michigan, was at her lqs and the owner said that she is also left-handed and there is a thread that is especially meant for left-handed quilters. Does this sound logical to any of you?

    I also am left handed. Yes, I feel the same way about my pins. I actually use my left hand to remove the pins and try to keep a small round table next to my sewing table for my pincushion or pin box and scissors because I am always fighting the fabric to locate them. OMG, I am so glad others feel my frustration.

    And scissor, I have finally found a really nice pair of scissors that cut using my left hand (I know right!) and I have them hidden so all the right-handers can't get them!

    I curve my hand out while writing as well. Glad to see someone else does too. So happy!!

    Both my parents are left handed, but I am the only child out of 4 of us that is LH. My mom always curved her hand in when she wrote but I never did that. I think I am truly ampidextrious. I have no issues with the rulers, scissors, rotary cutters or mats. I can cut with either hand or on either side of the mat. I crochet & cross stitch left handed but knit right handed. I throw & catch balls right handed also. The only think I consistently use my LH is for writing & eating.

    My dad is LH and so is my DIL. She had never used LH scissors until I bought them for her. She was amazed. She is a surgeon and I think that must be the most difficult because surgical tools are right handed.

    Maybe I should have been LH because I do several things LH without even thinking about it. I can use a rotary cutter with either hand. I can pin and unpin with either. It was pointed out to me years ago at work that I did things "backward" for a right handed person.

    But, I know nothing about LH thread.
