Which Way?

18 October 2006 34 Comments

This week’s SBQ was suggested by Vash and is:

Which way do you stitch, i.e. do you stitch /// followed by \\\ on top, or the other way around \\\ followed by ///? Are you left- or right-handed and do you think that this affects the way that you stitch?

I stitch /// followed by \\\ and I am right-handed.

I have often wondered if whether or not which “handed” you are makes a difference in which direction you stitch. In fact, for the longest time I assumed that if you were left-handed you would stitch \\\ and then ///.

I suppose it is possible that your dominant hand has something to do with which direction you stitch, but I have been asked to stitch opposite of “my” way and as long as reminded myself to do it when I first picked up my needle I didn’t have a problem switching.
