Threads Breaking... by usr470 15 years ago

Is there anything I can do to prevent my threads from breaking?
t is really frusturating that they sometimes break while I am in the middle of trying to make a bracelet. It may be that I'm pulling too hard, but I have to in order to get the knots just right.

What type of thread do you use? It usually happens when I use craft thread instead of DMC floss.

I think it is craft thread... so it may be that then. Thanks.

Your welcome. Glad I could help. XD

Sometimes even DMC or Perle cotton break if you pull too hard which happens to be all the time. Especially if I'm getting frustrated with the pattern I'm making. So I always just take a break and hope. If you do break a thread I try to finish the bracelet and use it for something else, like a bookmark or something if the blemish is extremely visible.
