As someone thought earlier, the pattern and the cone roller must be compatible. A different length of edge lace would require a different cone slant or size. In one of the 'estate' boxes of older lace equipment that came to our guild, there was a cone pillow with a huge stack of cone patterns. Some person made all her hankies that same size so she could use that roller. I think the pillow was bought by someone at a lace day, but the patterns were not....so I still have them. Someday I might open some out and make them on a block pillow Someone once described using a cone roller, and I remember she said that her patterns had to be fitted to the cone. Pieces of wool or felt would pad out the cone to fit the slight variations in the patterns. Some people had different cones that would fit in the basic pillow form. It is rather interesting how the pattern wraps around the cone to make the corners and the straight edges.
