F&K remnant 11 oz Poly/Wool advice?

[James MacMillan]

I machine sewed the knife pleat version as I am left handed and hand stitching doesn't work well when you are left handed.

Please explain how being right or left handed makes a difference with hand sewing. My Maternal Grand Mother was left handed and she made so many things, to include a pretty nice kilt, that I can't even begin to count. All were hand sewn.

All the surviving grandchildren have many things that she made that they hold as prized possessions.

I don't sew, (other than a botton or a rip or a pair of flashes) so maybe I just don't get it?

I'm going from Barb Tewksbury's book The Art of Kiltmaking where she explains why hand sewing a kilt is a right handed affair. It has to do with the way you hold the pleat and make the stitch and I haven't figured a way to reverse the action.
