I am a total left hander. The only thing my right hand is good for is to hold things. Some things took figuring out like sweaters with buttons, The buttonholes wound up on the wrong side of the front. No problem with quilting

#5 agrees with me ! -- I'm in my 80's and was taught that about one third are lefties -- out of my six children, two are left handed :)

I rotary cut lefty and cut with scissors with my right! Hand quilting is lefty!

I leaerned to crochet from my Grandmother. I sat across from her, so that I could crochet from my left, mlrroring her work.

Hmmm.....where is the choice for ambidextrous or "switch hitter?" Some of us use both depending on what we are doing.

I'm a right handed. Now I have a tremor and I am trying to learn to use my left hand more.

I'm a lefty, despite all attempts by my Grade 1 teacher (many many years ago now!) to write using my right hand. Was the only lefty in school until Grade 7 so learned how to do a few things like a right-hander, liking hitting a baseball. Still can't do that left-handed. And golfing left-handed is just weird.

I belong to a small guild here in Georgia (15 members) and we realized that more than half of us are left-handed. Very creative group!

When I first was learning how to bind a quilt, I learned the stitch and how close to make each one; but every time I would start binding a quilt, my stitches were locking! I finally figured out it was because I needed to start from the left side of the quilt instead of the right side, as right-handers do! Lefthandedness got me again!!!

I'm lefty, but had to learn to knit and crochet with my right hand. Scissors also were made only for right-handed in my youth so I use them with my right as well. All the rest I do with my left.
