Same logic to my teachings I think, plus as said in a previous post, lots of
them have a picture which is the opposite way round, so obviously meant to
be flipped. Some pieces do appear to be made with right side up, so it
obviously depends on several things.

I always thought that the reason for working some laces from the back was
for
several reasons including:
Sewings joining end to start is on the wrong side and so is the sewing in of
ends.
The very short ends of threads thrown out and cut off weren't visible from
the
right side.
if you need to add a pair in the middle of cloth/linen stitch by
hanging them
each side of a thread, the loop across that thread was on
the wrong side and
didn't show on the right side.
If you're going to mount your lace on a backing and send the long threads
cut
off when you've finished through to the back of the mounting material, the
threads are already on the back of the piece.
