I am right-handed and right-footed but did use my left after knee and then hip replacement. Not too bad once you get the hang of it!

I right handed and use my right foot. I tend to think of the sewing machine pedal as the gas pedal on a car. :lol: :lol:
|
I am left handed and use my right foot, also like driving a car.

I'm right handed, but when I took a class to learn to use my Bernina years ago, I learned to use the left foot on the pedal and the right knee for the pressed foot lift. I've been doing that ever since.
When you think of it, both right and left handed people use the same foot on the accelerator in a car. :D |

You know, don't you, that since the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body that only left handed people are in their right mind! =)

Right handed, right footed, no shoe

I had my right knee replaced three years ago and I used the
knee pedal?? I am right handed and can not use my left foot. I put a lot of padding around my knee and it didn't bother, Had to take a break every now and then though. |
Left handed and right footed, because you use your right foot driving the car!
I have had to adjust with knee replacements on both knees (at different times) and then a revision on the right. But back to the right foot! |

After the rehab, you can go back to doing what you were doing, except maybe riding your bicycle on the street or roller skating! froggyintexas |

(this was in the early 50's.) she didn't do that anymore after dad went up there and set her straight.
Today, I find myself able to do many things with my right hand but do use my right foot on the pedal and rotary cut with my left... |
