I received a phone call this week asking if I could teach a left-handed child to sew. I was confident I could, but I also needed to know what the challenges would be, so I did a search on the Internet. What else would I find besides the need for the child to have a pair of left-handed scissors?
I was amazed to learn that the configuration of the modern sewing machine actually favours the left handed operator.

Have a look at this video on You Tube which advertises an idea for a sewing machine for the Right-Handed User.
It seems that the major challenge for a left handed student will be with a machine that has the presser foot handle on the right side of the presser foot instead of at the back. But everything else favours the left-hander. Go figure....
