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.

Hi David,
Oy, I hate lifting prickings -- I've had it happen with thin pricking
card, thick pricking card, and Contact!!! Aaargh!
Yes, I agree that large areas of point ground are likely to be a
problem and watching the angle of the pins VERY carefully generally
sorts it for me. On the other hand, you could always leave out the
pins altogether in the point ground. Or if that gives you heartburn,
try pinning every other diagonal, or only leaving in 3 or 4 rows at
the working edge and pulling the rest.
Good Luck!
