Stitch Diagrams for Lefties!

February 18, 2009

Over the years I've been repeatedly asked how a left-handed person is supposed to learn embroidery from diagrams designed for right-handed folks. Uh...well...hrm. The standard reply from books and other sources has been "hold them up to a mirror". But that don't seem quite right, now does it? So, I've been working at adding content to the long-neglected How-To section (you all keep us busy around here!), and felt it was high time to give the southpaw stitchers some love. Now, I'm a right-handed gal, and the ways of the lefty are unknown to me. So, please don't be shy about feedback and how they can be improved! Gosh, maybe we need a resident left-handed stitcher?

I am learning and I am a lefty and I am about to loose my mind trying to translate right handed how to diagrams. I am going to try your guide but even before I try it, I just had to thank you right away. Perhaps some of my sanity will remain afterall!
