Jenny, I think I know how to avoid the problem of the pricking rising up. As you turn the roller, use a few pins along the sides of the pricking to secure it to the roller. Push these pins all the way down into the roller. As you continue to work and turn the roller back, remove these pins and put more in at the bottom.
