Dear Alice and other Friends,
Many thanks for this interesting email.
I too use paper prickings with plastic contact covering. However, I
very rarely use the same one twice. I've always meant to make a
folder for these finished prickings, but at present they are all in a
drawer. I do make a
If you have cut the edges of the pricking parallel to the pricking, perhaps
you could wrap a tape or ribbon around the roller at the edge of the
pricking as to act as tramlines; as you work you just need to keep the pricking
sitting squarely between them and do tiny tweaks as necessary.
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

Dear Charlotte and other kind Helpers,
I tried using pins along the sides to keep the pricking in place and
as I recall that helped some. But basically I would have to lift the
pricking, lace and pins and move them back into position.
I couldn't stand to have to do that. There are 90 pairs
No you'd have to put back in more pins than just 2 or 3 rows deep from the
front. I forget what lace this is (I am thinking Tonder) but I think you
would need most of your inch of pins back in the lace or you are running the
risk of gathering it. And, of course, the footsides would need pins

You have enough pattern hanging off the back of the roller to reach back, match
up the top and bottom sections of the pricking and hold the two together when
you are ready to roll up your work. Pull firmly in place and pin the next inch

Two of my roller pillows have rollers wrapped tightly with wool cloth, so
sticking the pins into the same spot doesn't damage anything. But one of my
pillows has a polyethylene (Ethafoam) roller, so that ones doesn't present a
real problem either. I hadn't thought about the issue of what

David, if you have to remove and re-pin make yourself a felt pad that
becomes larger in the centre than at the front and back edges, then work
onto it (tuck it up under your pricking)
