I'm a lefty and when I first started quilting I had to use a ruler wrong side up because the numbers were backwards. This made everything slip so then I started counting backwards so that 5 would be 1, 4 would be 2, 3 would be 3, 2 would be 4 and 1 would be 5... see the problem????
And when the 'ergonomic' rotary cutters first came out ... they were all right handed.
And trying to start a blanket stich by looking at a picture in the book ... spazz-attack!
I was blessed to find a crochet dictionary with left handed pictures and instructions in the back so I had no problem with that but never mastered knitting. Yes, I know, you knit both ways but I could never quite get the hang of it.
However, being a left-handed quilt instructor was very handy (pardon the pun) when it came to instructing students. They would stand in front of the table and I would be behind when I taught them to rotary cut. Worked like a charm!
