    I am left handed and have learned to use my right hand if all else fails. I knit right handed and the computer mouse I also use right hand.

    I too am a lefty and have no problems to speak of. Have left handed scissors and my rotary cutter is set up for left handed.

    I, too, am left-handed. The only difference I have ever been able to see between my friend and me is that I get lots more accomplished than they do. HA ! HA !

    ..I'm thinking that lefty's use the right side of their brain...which is the "creative" side.

    Using a needle left hand is different than right hand. I was trying to do needle turn applique and the instructions were definitely set up for a right hand direction. Embrodiery stitches are often geared for right hand.

    The same with cutting with scissors.

    I am ambidextrous and use my left hand as much as my right, however I do sew mostly right handed because I too went to a Catholic school and had nuns who thought left handedness was wrong. Also, when I learned to sew as a young child I only had right-handed teachers....mom, aunts, etc. so do most of my crafting right-handed.

    I'm a lefty and the teachers at school tried to make me a righty. But my Mom set them straight! I use those razor siscors and they don't make any difference on which hand you use. I used to use regular ones with the left hand, you just learn to adjust your grip. My hubby bought me a lefthanded pair and I couldn't cut with them.
