I have found that the domed pillows work fine for straight pieces which are fairly short, like bookmarks, and for small motif-type lace. But the larger the piece, the more the dome distorts things. As for the "levitating lace" problem, remember that while your pins inside the piece need to be straight, you should put your headside and footside pins in at an angle, leaning out. This will insure that your lace is "locked" down on the edges, and the problem of levitating lace between the edges will be mostly eliminated, except for the largest designs.
