I'm right handed but have more problems with my left hand, using it to hold the ruler when cutting with my hand spread out and holding the binding to sew it onto a quilt and also spreading my hands while wearing gloves with rubber nubs when machine quilting. I also have it in my left foot. I plan on making quilt as long as I can breathe. My knuckles got bigger several years ago and I had to buy a wedding ring 2 sizes larger than I use to wear.
