Are sewing machines left handed

Answer 1

No. Originally, sewing machines were operated by a hand-wheel on the right of the machine so although the fabric is guided with the left hand, the wheel would have been turned by the dominant hand (in most users).

Answer:

Yes! it's precisely because the emphasis was placed on the hand crank for the right hander, that produced the ergonomic anomaly with a bias to favour the left hander when conducting all functions that demand dexterity. For right handers, the configuration of the domestic machine has been back-to-front for a 160 years.
