Being a leftie this subject interest me. I went and looked at Deb Tuckers site. Thank You shorebird for the help.

Can you cut the fabric upside down? I do that sometimes as well, to get the piece I want.

I'm also left handed in this "right-handed" world so I've just adapted the best I can. I tried a pair of left handed scissors and I couldn't get use to them, went back to my right handed ones and used them on my left hand. Didn't see any problems with them. As to rotary cutting I've learned to cut from the right side going left these days. As to the rulers I just turn them upside down or backwards cause I'm sure if they did make left-handed stuff for us they'd also charge more for them too as there wouldn't be enough market otherwise.

I find that just going with the flow and not trying to fight the system the best way to keep my sanity and less stress.

This has been a really interesting read. I am right handed through and through but I have 2 granddaghters who are left handed. Hopefully I will remember some of these tips when they get old enough to cut in a few years. My one good quilting bud who is left handed has learned to cut with her right as well as she does with her left. I've seen her cut up one side of the ruler with one hand and back down the other with the other hand.

Yeah, Sandra, but remember, we lefties are always in our right mind!

I have a question for those of you who turn your ruler over. Do you have any problem with accuracy? I think I read once that your lines are as precise when viewed from wrong side. Anyone notice any difference?

You are more than welcome.......Being a leftie, taught by righties, makes me crazy sometimes.....But with all of her tools, I can easily cut left handed, and accurately!......Enjoy!
