Clay,
Ulrike Voelker also says .....Instead, we should place a temporary
pin off to the side, but toward you, so that the threads must come
down in a straighter line before moving off to the side.
I have always done that. In fact I use a tall hat pin so that 7 or 8
bobbin holders will still stay around it. I also worked out that this
large pin should be at an angle of 45 degrees and about 1" (2.5cm)
lower than the working area.
Personally I feel that the pricking would not buckle so much if it
was a thin Manilla-type card, but as mine are always paper with
Contact, this is often a problem. I feel it has something to do with
large areas of point ground, rather than the areas of half or whole
stitch, and may well be the angle of the pins in those areas.

Ulrike Loehr (I've forgotten her married name) cuts her blue
plastic film bigger than the pricking and uses that to secure the
pricking to the pillow. I don't find that this works well if you
have a piece on the pillow for a long time, but then you can pin
through the film only, and this pin tends to press in below the
level of the pricking
