1.Stitch from the bottom upward
2.Stitch with the chart and fabric upside down.
3.Cross Stitch can be considered a generic needlecraft-art in that fabric, frames & hoops, charts, and tapestry needles really don't care whether the stitcher is left or right handed.
4.Mind you standard scissors are all designed for right handers, so perhaps lefties might prefer to source a pair of left-handed fabric scissors.
5.You could try gridding your fabric before starting. Doing this allows you to start anywhere you like instead of the traditional center point.
6.We think this is a patrticularly useful tip that you can use in all matters where the teacher and pupil are opposite handed. Simply sit or stand directly in front of the other person and look at them; it's just like looking into a mirror.
7.Get a floor- or lap-stand so you can work with both hands. It's easier on your shoulders and wrists, and you don't have to figure out what to do with the fabric.
8.Finally, just remember it doesn't matter which direction your cross stitches are going, as long as they all go in the same direction in the entire piece.
