Default Left-Handed Needlepoint

I can't ever remember the term Left Handed Needlepoint. To me needlepoint is
needlepoint no matter if you stitch holding the needle with the left hand or
the right hand. I use either hand and to me a stitch is a stitch.

Now having said that, The other day I came across the term "Reverse Cross
Stitch" and I'm still trying to imagine what a reverse cross stitch is.

My DMIL tends to squirrel away old magazine articles on such things as
crafts and home decorating, and I was looking through some of them the
other day when I found one I thought some of you might find
interesting. It was an article about a book called Left-Handed
Needlepoint. I don't remember much about the article other than it
showed a lot of charts on how to do different stitches left-handed.
Even though the book is a little old (1972) and out of print, it might
still be good for the diagrams and I know you can get it from Amazon
for about $3. Even though it called it needlepoint, it showed some
stitches you could also use in cross stitch or embroidery. It seemed
like it might be a good book for a frustrated southpaw needlworker. :-)
