I have taught myself to be able to move the machine right or left handed but because I am right handed it is more natural for me to hold the ruler with my left hand and guide the machine with my right.
Yes, it is a Simply Sixteen on the Little Foot frame. That's good to know about the dexterity and practice with rulers. I will be attending the Road to a California show in a couple of weeks. What ruler would you suggest for a beginner?
Thanks
