On the matter of pre-pricking, you do know already pricked patterns are 
available from Karen Nissen in Denmark?  I have purchased several Tonder 
patterns already pricked, including the large Danish heart, and if I never make 
the lace, the pricking is frame able art. It's a matter of personal choice, I 
think - no matter how careful you are, no pricking is ever perfect.  I just like 
to do it beforehand because I usually make bookmarks (yes, on a roller, by the 
dozen, with a tassel at each end) and such "easy bits" by the light of the TV 
screen, and it's simply easier to find the hole with the pin if the pattern has 
been pricked. Lacemakers tend to be perfectionists, and this discussion only 
reinforces my impression that we are, as a group, just half a bubble off level 
anyway.
