From one lefty to another YOU GO GIRL!! That is the way it was with me. I never even think of my sewing machine being either left or right I thought it was universal it doesn't thread any differently for me from one side to the other. Now for crochet or some hand stitches that is different but I found a way for it to work for me. I learned by watching "Righties" and then fixed it for me sometimes I would sit in front of the person but for some reason that just turned everything around backwards. I do everything left handed and consider myself UNIQUE. We put too many tags on things.
