Rarely- I learned to cut with right handed scissors- whichwas no small task for my mother. I am very left handed and as a small child would drop what she placed in my right hand and put it in my left. If it can't be used easily I don't buy it and find away to adapt what I have. My husband has begun to see my plite with cetain things and his creative juices kick in and he has resolved some issues I hadn't figured out how to yet. Course- I'm still the only one in this marriage in my right mind. ;)
