I am a leftie, too. I use scissors with my right hand, but can't seem to use my rotary cutter with my right. I golf, bat and play tennis right handed, but must bowl left handed. I suppose it depends on when in my life I learned a particular skill. Things are easier when one is young!

I am very right handed, tried a few things, not gonna happen!

I am RIGHT handed.... in everything.... however after my Mother suffered a stroke I forced myself to use my left hand more. I always straighten the fabric with my left hand on the rotary cutter/ruler if that is the more convenient way to do it. (I have one older type OLFA style cutter) Even when you blow dry your hair..... make your brain do the switch.... not easy at first... but it is doable....

When I read your thread title, my first thought was that you were cutting with both hands at the same time!!

I am right handed, but a few years ago I had surgery on my right thumb and had a cast then brace for 8+ weeks. I learned to do many, many things with my left, rotary cut among them. I never went back to my right to use my mouse...it just seems natural to use the left. I think many people would learn to use the "Other" hand if they had to. I could not go 8 weeks without sewing.

I am right handed, but I can cut with the rotary cutter using my left hand. I always do it to make the first cut to square up the end of the fabric. I've done it since I started quilting and didn't know that some people have a problem with that.

I can use both hands to do most things and some things I can only do right handed and like DD's Mother I can write perfectly on a blackboard with my opposite hand. I can use either hand for rotary cutting.

My Grandmother was a special ed. teacher in the Projects of Chicago for 35+ years and learned to be ambidextrous. She writes on paper and eats with her left hand but wrote on the chalkboard, cuts and drinks with her right. I can cut use my rotary with either hand if I have to but prefer my right hand. I snip threads with my left as that's the side I keep my snippy scissors!

If I don't do everything with my right hand, I will surely amputate something with my left. About the only thing I can do correctly with my left is scratch.

Right handed all the way here. However, I can tie a shoestring into a bow with one hand. Try that one with just one hand...left or right it don't matter.
