I am not sure that I buy the heel ball theory, because wouldn't that result in the footside switching every single time the pattern was copied? In that case, wouldn't every country make lace with footsides on the right and left interchangeably? I think the fact that they were copying with heel ball, which might result in reversal, and yet the footside was always on the left indicates a conscious decision to always put the footside on the left. I am inclined to agree with Jane that right handedness has a lot to do with the general preference for right handed footsides. Devon
