I use a cork mat, and pricking parchment that I get from lace suppliers. I have two sizes of cork mat, as it's not easy having to move large prickings halfway through. I put a photocopy of the piece on top, fixed with paper clips and use drawing pins to hold the two sheets firmly in place on the cork.
I rub over the top sheet with a piece of beeswax. Wax paper is not easily available (not the same as baking parchment, which is more similar to greaseproof paper). I used to use it for making collars for royal iced cakes. Don't forget that some pieces of lace need a mirror image copy for the second half (collars and lappets particularly) .
