I've found the difference matters more for hand sewing than machine (but my
sewing machines aren't picky), but handedness of the person matters as much as
handedness of the thread. Every stitch I take, the needle is rotated slightly.

I love the woman in green in the back of the center one. Her sleeves are still
attached to her bodice, but her arms aren't in them, and they're pinned (I
assume) behind her, out of the way.
