In fact, as per [post #111](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/professions-where-dominant-hand-makes-a-difference/965764/111), it turns out that the standard modern sewing machine is actually more convenient for lefty than for righty use! 😲

But yes, we righties do manage to learn to operate them anyway. 😁
