Hello
I most time only read your mails, because of my English is noch the best.
I want to tell you another trick I used to learn left handed students
all of my textil techniques:
I`m sitting on a stool and have mirror in my lap, size about 20 x 30 cm
(8 x 12 inch).
I work in front of the
The talk of problem hitches, left-handed winding, anti-clockwise etc. reminds
me of the time that I used teach children on Saturday mornings. (I did it for
sixteen and a half years). One girl had great trouble winding clockwise, so I
suggested that she look at the head of the bobbin and
I’ve only just caught up with this conversation but if you like diagrams of
hitches done right- and left-handed I have some on my website a

and also an explanation of why it’s a good idea to wind the thread on the
bobbin by turning the

I have also noticed that students interpret "clockwise" and
"counter-clockwise" differently when they are winding, so I've stopped
explaining things that way. It's
Just to add a fun little wrinkle - something I didn’t know until last year was
that whether something is clockwise or counter-clockwise depends entirely on
your vantage point. Take a bobbin and start winding thread on clockwise as
you’re looking at the head of the bobbin. Then continue the same
When the student is holding the bobbin and winding the thread on, is the
thread winding clockwise or counterclockwise?
Actually, I think I can explain a hitch so it works either way with either
hand.
When the bobbin is wound, lay the thumb along side the thread on the bobbin.
Continue winding
Elena,
Great, so glad to help! Best of luck with all of your lefties!

Hi Elena,
Letslace has a video for winding on in the left-handed manner that shows her
making a double hitch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FxVBSv5RhNo
I do it a different way. When I was just beginning, neither my teacher, nor I
realized I was winding on differently than she was, so I was
Good morning Arachne!
I have a question for you all. I have been teaching beginning bobbin
lacemaking for four years now, and have probably taught around 400 people,
so I feel very comfortable with it.
However, in every class I have at least a couple of left-handed people, who
sometimes struggle
