Sewing machines and being left-handed

[suedonim]

I've been thinking of getting 20yo dd a sewing machine for her birthday. She's left-handed (I'm r-handed) so does that make a difference? Will she find it difficult to use? Any tips for south paw sewing machine users? TIA!

Bump

No probs at all- at least, I've never had any, and I had a child's one too.

Oh, 20! I read that she was 2!

Lol @ a two year old let loose with a sewing machine!

I'm left handed and never had a problem. You do use your right hand a lot on the turning wheel but I'm sure once she's used to it she'll be fine

Thanks.

like everything else in the world, us lefties just have to adapt! I've never found mine mush of a problem though!

Laura - I agree. It's scissors I have more of a problem with!!

I'm convinced. I'll get her one for her birthday.
