Left-Handed Stiletto

Post by Rose92 » Thu May 15, 2008 6:33 pm

Does anyone have suggestions how to use the stiletto left-handed? I have tried and tried but it is very awkward when most of your fabric is out to the left, the 1/4" foot has its widest part to the left and you have to hang onto everything with your left hand. I guess I will have to try to learn to use it right-handed, which is just as awkward for me!!

I never really thought about it, but sewing machines are made for right handers. I can imagine that would be difficult with your left hand. Have you checked to see if there is a 1/4 inch foot with the guide on the left? Lori

My that is awkward. I've never thought about sewing on the machine left handed.

Don't we left handers adjust well.

I am left handed and never really thought about it. I am able to use the stilleto with my left hand while sewing with no problem. HMMMMMMMMM I wonder if there is something wrong with me. I use my calculator at work with my right hand also.
