Left-handed embroidery
Overview of left-handed embroidery
About 15% of people are left-handed. Therefore we can probably also say that about 15% of embroiderers and stitchers are also left-handed. If you're left-handed, you'll know that we stitch left-handed in a right-handed world. I don't need to tell you that most needlework books are written for right-handed people, and all their stitch instructions are right-handed, because you already know that.

Written in Yvette Stanton's clear, step-by-step style, The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion will be your constant embroidery companion as it shows how to do over 170 stitches comfortably and sensibly, for you as a left-handed embroiderer.
