Hi, all, I'm left-handed and when I decided to learn how to tat years ago it never occurred to me to learn other than left-handed. Several years later I decided that was a mistake - it was too much trouble converting charts from RH to LH - so I re-taught myself right-handed. Although both ways were initially awkward, I persevered and now find tatting right-handed comes naturally. And it wasn't just that, but I get way fewer knots and tangles tatting RH. For some reason as it seems the threads lie more smoothly RH.
One thing that worked for me was to start with thick threads. It made it so much easier to see what I was doing and make sure I flipped the stitches correctly.
