Malvary makes a good point about how to fit the pricking on the foam
roller... But when you make your pricking just a little bit bigger, you
have to be careful as you work that it stays centered on the roller.
Things have a tendency to drift off to one side, which can be annoying,
to say the least.

Hi
Thank you for all your thoughts. I think I will buy a roller insert
for my block and then I will have the best of both worlds but only the
one pillow! It was SMP that told me they don't sell them anymore but
he also said they still sell the inserts so I will just check that it
will fit my pillow. That is a good thought about the pattern being
bigger than the roller - I certainly wouldn't have thought about that
and would have thought that it would be better if the pattern did fit!!

Hi Nancy
I have the best of both worlds, in my opinion - a block pillow plus a
block with a roller insert. I bought them from SMP & when the roller
is worn out I just buy a replacement.
As others have said I find the roller best for long straight lengths
while the block pillow is ideal for edgings.

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
