If you look at a sewing machine, though .. it is more friendly to a lefty than a right handed person. The only thing on the right is the turn handle and the bobbin winder. The most free area is to the left of the machine. If the needle isn't threaded from front to back, it will be threaded from left to right. When it is time to remove a bobbin, almost every move is easiest done by a lefty ... the light is on the left, the thread cutter is on the left .... I think a left-handed person designed the sewing machine <wave>
