Question of the Week: are you right or left handed and which had do you hold the needle in when you stitch
I am right handed and I stitch with my right hand. Hope you are feeling better.
I’m a right hand person and I stitch right handed. Hope you feel better. Sorry about your uncle. Nice pattern and the colors are pretty. Have a great week. God bless.
I'm right handed but rheumatoid arthritis is making my life harder so I had to teach myself to use my left hand more with my day-to-day tasks. I started stitching with both hands after I purchased my Lowery Workstand.
I am right handed and stitch with my right hand. And for the life of me can’t cut or stitch with my left hand.
I’m so right handed that my left hand is very weak in comparison…not a medical thing, either. Is it “Frederick” or Kathy Barrick’s “Cooper?” I’ve had Cooper in my stash for a few years and will be getting to it within the next year or so. He’s a giant parrot or something, right?
I am totally right handed, and needle with right, however it would sure be handy to be ambidextrous. I do have three left handed grand babies. Love your fabric floss tosses, so helpful! Prayers for your uncle and your family.
Right handed and stitch right handed. 🐨
Great video! Feel better soon.
I am right handed and stitch right handed. 💜
I am right handed and stitch right handed. Sure hope you feel better soon. Take care.
I am a right handler that holds a needle in my right hand.
Hey Julie! 👋🏻. I have the same ear issues as you and suffer from vertigo. I’m even having a hard time pulling weeds in my yard right now due to bending my head over. I am right handed and stitch with my right hand 🖐🏻
I am right handed and I hold my needle in my right hand. Excited for retreat!!
Right handed. You are blessed to have the ability to use both hands!
I am totally left handed. Everything I do is with my left hand. Both of my Grandmas were left handed and my Dad as well. Enjoyed your fabric and floss choices!
Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon. I am totally righthanded and stitch with my right hand.
I’m right handed and hold needle in my right hand. When stitching using my floor stand I hold my right hand under the fabric and my left hand on top of the fabric and stitch using both hands.
Though I write with my left hand, I use my right hand for many other things that I do.
When I stitch, I usually hold the needle in my left hand. Using a needlework stand, I often use both hands. Recently I have worked at improving the appearance of my embroidery stitching by following suggestions in The Left Handed Embroiderers Companion by Yvette Stanton.
Julie, that is so funny that you were copying your siblings. I'm right handed but so alot of things with my left. However , I stitch with my right. Love the chart of the week videos but also miss seeing Dan. Prayers for your uncle's family and you.
Hi Julie
I’m a lefty, and if I use a hoop, sometimes use my right hand
But I’m comfortable left handed
I also use my right for other things
Hope you feel better
Have a good week
I like Silver Fox and Raw Natural for the Fragments in Time charts. I am naturally right handed but trained myself to be somewhat ambidextrous years ago when I broke my right thumb. Since then I've been a 2-handed stitcher (which increased my stitching speed quite a bit!). I hope you feel better soon.
I am left handed but I also tend to be ambidextrous. My mom tells me that when I was learning to feed myself I would pick up the fork with whichever hand was closer to the fork. I stitch with my left hand.
I’m SO right handed. My left hand is pretty much just to assist my right hand lifting heavy items. I’ve worried over the years what I would do if I ever broke my right arm. It would not be pretty!
Last minute discombobulated was good! Try some lemon and honey. Hope you feel better soon!
PS: I am right-handed and stitch right-handed. My mom was a leftie, and so in one of our grand-daughters. And they stitch(ed) with their left.
I am right-handed. I stitch and do every thing right handed. My Dad’s a lefty but he can pretty much use both hands. I would get a bunch more done using both hands. 😄
I am a lefty and I stitch with my left hand. I do some things with my right hand, but anything that requires eye hand coordination is always with my left hand. I love the silver fox fabric! Great video as always!
Another great video. Did you know left handers have a shorter life expectancy? From can openers to power tools, things are just not right for us. The big three: writing, eating, stitching, I am left handed. Throwing and using scissors, I am right handed. Weird, huh?
I am totally left handed. I do everything with my left hand. Love your chart of the,week this week. Hope you are feeling better by now.
HelloJulie. I’m a stitcher from the 70’s and 80’s who returned to xs a few months ago. I enjoy your podcast. I live in West Des Moines. There is not a cross stitching shop here in central Iowa! 😢. I am a left handed person who stitches left handed. Take care and hope by now you are feeling better
I am right handed and hold my needle with my right hand. My brother writes with his right hand but pitches and bats left handed. My sister and I believe that he is left handed but was forced to write with his right hand in Catholic school.
Hope that your uncle passes peacefully. 🙏🏻
I'm right handed, stitch right handed, but am fairly ambitextrous. My maternal grandfather and uncle were both left handed and I've always wanted to be left handed - no reason why!!! I once learned to crochet left handed so that I could teach a friend to crochet who was left handed!!! I can stitch left handed, but not as quickly - although I am slow anyway! Get better. So glad my grandkids are grown, I remember well all the "time with the grandkids" colds!!!
I stitch with my right hand and am also right handed. I hope you have a wonderful time at your upcoming retreat.
I’m a lefty! I do everything left handed, except for using scissors. I had a teacher in school who made it her mission to get me to cut with my right hand, and she succeeded. Holding scissors in my left hand is a dangerous prospect, as is holding a needle in my right. 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Julie, happy Spring! I am profoundly left handed. I do everything left handed-eat, cut, throw, knit and stitch. I hold the hoop with my right, and work the needle with my left. When I knit, I take the stitches from the right needle and put it on the left. I have to reverse every direction in my head. My daughter is also left handed , but I think she is more like you. She plays viola, and therefore is trained to use both hands equally, so she tends more toward ambidextrous.
Love that you take the time to show us various fabric suggestions for the designs you show, so thank you -- I appreciate it.
I'm a left-hander and guess I was born that way. My mother and one of our sons -- also lefties. I stitch with my left hand, needle of course in my left hand. Have tried 2-handed stitching but find that difficult. I make XS's like a right handed person which I think slows me down stitching. (1st stitch goes lower left to upper right instead of lower right to upper left).
Interesting question & I'll look forward to other's answers to your question.
I always find it interesting that so many items are made for right-handed people but more & more things are taking left-handers into consideration like scissors, vegetable peelers, measuring cups, soup ladles, i was xs "how to do" stitches, etc.
Hope you feel better soon and sorry to hear about your uncle.
When stitching in hand, I am right-handed and use the sewing method.
When using a floor stand, I am ambidextrous and use the stab method.
Fun to see the various fabrics; thanks for sharing them!
I am left handed and I do most of the things with my left hand ( except using scissors). I hold the needle with my left hand and stitch from up left to bottom right
Hi Julie. Sure am sorry about yr not feeling well & so hope that you feel better soon. Also hope you get to see yr Uncle & say goodbye - that is so meaningful for everyone. I’m right handed for everything but hitting a golf ball which makes no sense at all! Sorry-but don’t understand “ tent” stitching. I know the sewing stitch buy I learned with the “ stab” method & that’s what I continue to use. Take care & enjoy the Retreat.
I admire that you do the small stitches. I just cant see it and I dont like the small stuff. Not sure why but I enjoy my stitching that I can sit and see it. And I have done several ABC from Prairie Schooler. I just love them on 32 ct. Every one has their opinion right. Hope you feel better. Use the right hand for my needle.
I am sorry for your loss and hope that you are felling better. I am left handed, however I stitch with my right hand. The only things I tend to use my right hand for are scissors and writing!
Hi Julie. So sorry to hear about your uncle and thinking about you today, Saturday.
I'm right handed and stitch with my right although I always start in the top left corner. Like a book I suppose. DTM doesn't need any stitching to share for a good installment, his stories are entertaining and your interplay is great.
Thanks for showing us examples a real colors, what a difference that makes.
Hope you are feeling better! I know so many people with sore throats. I am totally right handed, can’t do much of anything left handed, guess it does hold the Q Snap.
I am Very left handed. As are most of the females in my family. My mom, my sister, myself, my daughter. My son and nephew are righties. My mom taught us to turn our paper the opposite direction so we don't write with our hands all twisted up like some left handers. I stitch 2 handed, but the needle stays in my left hand or is sitting in the wrong hole. Lol. Wish I were ambidextrous!!
I’m right handed and hold my needle in my right hand. My mother was and my daughter is left handed. I hope you get to feeling better and prayers for your uncle!
Well Julie, if you’re weird than so am I! I do the following left handed: write, throw a ball with left but bat right handed, and cut my meat! Everything else I do right handed including needle in right hand. I can write right handed but is very slow. I went to a business college back in the late 60’s and I remember asking the instructor of the business machine class where the left handed calculators were and she said..sorry but there isn’t such a thing ..so, of course, I was forced to learn the calculator and other machines right handed. I again have enjoyed watching your video…hope you feel better soon!
I’m sorry to learn about your uncle. 🙁 And I hope you start feeling better soon. I’m left-handed and use my needle in my left hand. Three generations of lefties here. My mom, me, and my daughter. 🙃
I am a very right hand stitcher. My left hand is not very coordinated!! I really like the chart for today. Hope you feel better real soon!!
I hope you feel better soon - not fun to not feel good. : ( I love Summerhouse Stitch Workes, Beth is such a nice person and I love her designs. Thanks for showing what the true colors are, photos so often don’t give a good sense of the piece. Happy stitching………
I am a left handed writer and eater. I stitch right handed as well as other crafts and did any type of sport right handed. I handle tools right handed. So I guess I fall in the ambidextrous category with a strong right hand
I always enjoy your videos so much and I'm just horrible at commenting! My thoughts are with you and your uncle and I hope you feel well enough to be able to go visit him. For the question of the day - I'm a right handed stitcher and hold my needle in my right hand.
Love the earth linen the best, but actually all of your fabric choices are nice. Hope you feel better soon. I’m right handed and hold my needle in my right hand - I stitch in hand.
Im amberdexouis, I write and eat with my left hand but I do everything else with my right! I write like a right handed person. Girl, Id tried using left handed scissors, its not a pretty site. Im sorry to hear your Uncle isnt doing well. I hope everything works out for your able to see him!
I am left handed and I think statistically 10% of the population are left handed. I hold my needle in my left. The only thing I do right handed is cut with scissors because the school system never had left handed scissors. Speaking of school, in the fourth grade one nun was determined that I would become right handed. She repeatedly made me write right handed on the chalkboard in front of the entire class and it was humiliating. It also didn't work.
Love that Earth linen! It's gorgeous! I'm a righty, so stitch right handed. My husband is a lefty. I see him use his right hand way more than I ever use my left. I asked him about this. He explained that he writes left handed and uses the left for anything requiring fine motor control. Whenever he needs strength, he uses his right hand. For example, if he were to hammer a nail, he'd use his right hand. I've always thought left handed people were better at using their right hand than we right handed people are at using our left hand. Hope you feel better soon! Nicole
Wanted to add that I experience vertigo issues too. I found that the Epley maneuver really helps. There are some very helpful videos demonstrating how to do this. After doing the maneuver, it takes a few days for the fuzziness to go away but at least the spinning feeling lessens or is almost gone.
Right handed person here, mostly, sort of. I do many things left handed that feel totally awkward doing right handed. Like opening combination locks or dealing cards among others. I broke my right arm when I was a kid so I also learned to write left handed at the time.
As for stitching, I will use the needle with my right hand unless I’m using a stand. For that I can do either hand over or under the fabric, if that makes sense?
Hope you feel better soon!!!!
Sorry to hear about your uncle , I hope your able to see him . I am right handed , and for the most part , I stitch holding my needle with my right hand... except when I use my lap stand , then I use my right hand under the stand and my left hand holds the needle . I hope you feel better before your retreat , so you can enjoy the time with your friends.
I am a right handed dominat person and do just about everything with my right hand. I find it interesting how many patterns don't have good photography. I find this especially true of samplers and then you see them in person and are amazed at how beautiful they are stitched. I suppose that is why so many needle shops have models hung everywhere for people to see.
Hope you're feeling better! Always enjoy the chart of the day/week videos. Beautiful eye candy of fabric and floss!
I am a right handed person and hold my needle in my right hand. I hope you feel better real soon. Those grands are little germ factories. Although our pollen count has been so high that we are all stuffy. I do hope you are able to visit your uncle. I would have never looked at that chart - thanks for showing that it can be stitched on beautiful fabric.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather and about your uncle. Hope you are able to be with your family. I’m right handed and used to stitch right handed or with both hands in a frame or Q-snap, but due to an overuse problem with my right wrist, I mainly stitch left handed in hand now. Works for cross stitch…haven’t tried embroidery this way, but I will soon. ☺️ A good friend really likes the Verdal. I haven’t tried it yet, but would like to!
It was good to see you again. Hope you feel better. I am left handed and hold the needle in my left hand. I have tried to hold the needle in my right hand to see if I can two handed stitch. Basically I’m a lefty and I love it!!
I am right handed so I hold my needle in my right hand and start stitching with the left hand underneath the fabric while stitching on frame or hoop. I do have a question when I came across a floss tuber that mentioned taking off the linen from the hoop or frame when you stop stitching. Is this required for the linen to rest since a project is stretched in a frame or hoop? There is so much viral infection going around so I hope you feel better and have a good stitch retreat.
I am very left handed and I hold my needle in the left hand. They tried to change me to a righty but I am a deep set lefty and proud of it.
I am left handed and hold the needle in my left hand. I hope you feel better soon and be able to make the trip on Saturday to see your uncle.
I am SEVERELY right handed. Haha. Can’t do a thing with my left hand. Hope to see you in actual person next week. 🤞❤️
Hi Kathleen hope you are okay; I’m missing your videos 💐🇳🇿💐
Hi Julie, I‘s like to order chart, the 18 ct silver fox Aida & the floss. Let me know how you want me to finish sale. I am right handed all the way. You could chop off my whole left side. I rarely use my left for anything.Thx for a great video. Feel better soon.
Hi Karen, I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but between being sick and our retreat, then playing catch up after coming back from retreat I hadn't had a chance to read comments until today. If you would like to place an order, there are several ways to do it. You can order through my website: www.reflections-framing.com or you can email me at julie@reflections-framing.com or call the shop at 402-331-1740.
thank you for showing the called for fabric vs what the picture looks like. I usually pick a chart based on the finish picture and have been disappointed when ordering fabric or floss and the outcome has been different. Plus I am an aida stitcher so some called for fabrics are not available. Not having a local shop I have to trust pictures.
Omgoodness the last fabric was awesome for this chart, loved it best..Earth. I usually love what you love... and again today such a beautiful choice.
I am kind of ambidextrous, I studied piano from an early age, so using both of my hands has always been easy for me for many things.
I hope you feel better soon.🌷
I am left handed and write and stitch with my left hand. Like you, however, there are things I do right handed because of living in a right handed world. I use scissors in my right hand, as well as a vegetable peeler. Interestingly all three of my children are lefties too. My right handed husband was always the “oddball” in our family lol!
I’m a right handed person and so I hold my needle in my right hand. I sure hope you get to feeling better very soon! And I’m truly sorry about your uncle. Thank you for showing different fabrics, my favorites for that chart was the seraphim fabric and earth. Just so you know I always look forward to your videos! Feel better 😘!
I'm right handed and hold the needle in my right hand too. I have one right handed child and one left handed and my husband was right handed, but somewhat able to use both hands for hammering etc. I enjoy your videos and thank you for making them. I hope you feel better soon! Take care and stitch happy!
