Hello Sr Claire It's not a silly question, but there is no definitive answer. Some styles of lace and some areas work the footside on the left, others work it on the right. But just think about making an insertion - you have a footside on both sides so you do need to be able to work it either way but for an edging make it whichever way you feel most comfortable with - or whichever way your instructions/working diagram is presented.
