You don't mention the type of pricking you are using. If you are using a pricking covered with matt film then this can make the pins sticky if they have been in the lace for a long time. Also if its a long time between pricking and making the lace the holes in the film often close up making it more difficult to insert the pins.
When pricking I use a size 8 sharp for laces requiring approx 30 cotton, and size 9 or 10 for finer threads.
Hope this helps.
