Patricia Sone explains why having the selvedge edge on the right or left side as you stitch is important in this short video.
What about when the selvage edge is cut off or the shop covered the edges with tape? Then I look for the designer's logo and design numbers, which are usually at the bottom. Make sure those are on the bottom when you are stitching (unless of course you have to turn the canvas to reach) and you should be ok.
Is this crucial? It probably isn't but it'll help keep your canvas from distorting if you are using stitches that tend to pull the canvas into a parallellogram. Every little bit helps, right?
