Hi Nancy,
I use both roller and block pillows - I tend to use the roller pillows for
the garters, and block pillows for large, wide, long lengths, so it isn't
really a question of 'most people' - its what you feel you would like, and
feel most comfortable with.
Both the roller and the block pillows must have the prickings lined up
properly, as otherwise, the pricking tends to getr closer to one side or the
other, as you trundle on with the many miles of lace - but in that, there
really is no difference in the use. But - I always think that it is easier
to get the pricking round the roller, with sometimes a bit of padding to
make it fit, than to but up the pieces of the pricking on the blocks.
Again, though, that is personal choice!
So - whatever pillow takes your fancy, go for it! You may find that, like
me, you have several different types of both roller and block pillow, and
use both!
Take care, and may your pins never bend.

Subject: [lace] roller or block
I have not been lace making for very long and as such I am still buying the
'tools of the trade' I have two small round pillows, one large pillow and
a
three block pillow. I was going to buy a roller pillow but the man who
owns
the site says that almost everyone uses block pillows instead. Which is
best?
Roller or block?
Nancy
