I disagree with Tamara (not a rare thing, despite being good friends) on this. I didn't get a pricker till I'd been making lace for a few years. I used a large-headed pin, such as a corsage pin. Or I just used the pattern without pre-pricking.
However, I admit a good, comfortable pricker makes it easier to pre-prick the pattern, and pre-pricking makes it easier and more accurate putting in the pins during lacemaking. So I agree that a pricker is a useful tool for the beginning package, but disagree that it's mandatory. Robin P.
