I'm a right hander but use my left foot. I was told by a quilt teacher that it was better for my back, sure was. Now it's just natural instinct. I've been doing it for about 7 years now.
It did feel strange at first but now I don't even notice.
In the last 8-10 years I decided to use my left foot so I could use the knee control that came with my Bernina--at first was a bit awkward but now is my preference, altho I can use either one.
