In certain types of bobbin lace one does push the pins all the way down.
This is done specifically in free/part laces such as Honiton, Duchesse and
tape laces.  The reason is that you constantly change directions as you work
and sometimes work over parts already finished.  You have to get the pins
out of the way.  In doing torchon on a roller pillow there is no need to
push the pins all the way down, and not doing so saves time.
