I will admit I've never been patient enough to get up and find a ruler and
measure a set distance from the side of the roller to the footside. I've
always been to keen to get the pricking on the pillow and get started, and
found that just eye-balling it isn't completely reliable, and the pricking
does wander diagonally. Fortunately this has never yet been disastrous
enough to need to remove all the pins and re-pin!
However I suspect that starting off by pinning the pricking at a measured
even distance from the edge of the roller around as much of the length of
the roller as you can fit the pricking would probably help a lot!

For an edging, the thought process needs to be a bit different. The easy
way to do a long edging is with a roller pillow. In this case, there is a
relatively short pattern around the roller that is used repeatedly for the
length of the edging.
foresee a problem. The repeat of the pricking itself was too long to wrap
round the roller, so I have joined about 4 A4 pages length together and
this is currently hanging out the back of the pillow. My question is: how
can I guarantee that the pricking will remain in a straight line??? I can
envisage it oh so slowly wandering over to one side.
Any helpful hints greatly appreciated.
