I bought a beautiful roller pillow in Montreal, and am about to start a pattern on it. The pricking will be exactly as Malvary described, a loop larger than the roller.
Here's my question: I've been cautioned that with this method there is a risk that the pricking might not stay exactly "vertical" but might eventually work its way slightly diagonal. Is this really a problem/risk? If so, how can I avoid it?
