LOL Shari The twist on the thread will alter the tendency of the thread to kink and knot while you're hand sewing, and intuitively I think I can see where the idea came from that a lefty would need a different twist, but it's surely bunk. If you consider that you can hand sew in either direction just by turning the fabric, there's no way the thread could be any different no matter who is propelling it. |
I am left handed, and I have left-handed scissors. Left-handed thread? I think it's just a running joke between the two women who are left handed. If something doesn't come out quite right, they kid with each other it's because we
didn't use the left-handed thread. If something comes out good, we used the left-handed thread. Their mother doesn't realize it's just a joke between them and took them seriously. I am LOL with everyone else. |
Anything to make a buck I guess.
Being a Lefty I don't buy into such "novelties". I live in a right handed world, I learned to adapt to it. When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher didn't like the fact I was the only Lefty in her class. I guess she thought I was making her day go by slower or something....lol Anyways, she tried forcing me into writing with my right hand. I couldn't so, I wrote everything backwards. Like this : Ees enaJ nur. Ees enaJ hctac eht llab. She called my parents in for a conference, big mistake........My Dad is left handed. I was transferred into the other Kindergarten class the next day. |
This reminds me of the time in HomeEc class that we sent a new girl to the store to buy Tailor Tacks. It was not nice but we got a big laugh out of it. For those of you who don't sew garments - a tailor tack is a method of marking darts, etc. by using a needle & thread.

Thread for lefties-??! Snipe hunt anyone? ;) I'd trade her my left-handed toothbrush for some of that thread!
