I work palms down with spangled bobbins because I actually pick the bobbins up by the spangles. Not a recognised way of doing it, I know, but having RA, I can work longer that way than if I handle the actual bobbins. There are no 'lace police' around, and, even if there were, I'd still continue to 'break the law' to be able to continue lacemaking.
I also work CTCT (starting left over right) because I like to have the threads crossed when I've finished a half stitch so I can immediately see whether a pair is in half stitch or whole stitch (or whatever else you want to call it - linen stitch, cloth stitch) 'mode', rather than all pairs hanging parallel. Doesn't help, of course, if I add a final twist to a pair in whichever stitch.
