My piece of plastic has been on the pillow since Sept/October last year and is still in place. I have worked over a yard of lace on the pricking. I have just found a problem on this round where the pricking had a quarter inch cut in it and it is catching the threads. This was my fault for not being more careful when I cut it. The nick in the plastic was probably from when I cut the previous piece off the roll. I did not put any pins in it to hold it but have put plenty of holes in the inch edge from my divider pins.

I really like the sound of this idea. But surely if it's a larger piece of Bucks/Toender/Chantilly etc, with hundreds of pins, and which will possibly need to stay in place for a few months, don't you find that the outer edge of the plastic loses its stickiness and comes adrift? I think I would still put a few pins through it at first - just in case.
