One more word on this subject....I had the same thing happen in a
Rosaline class at the Denver IOLI Convention. Helena Demeyer had
specified two thread alternatives and for some reason I decided to get
both. (Can't remember at this hour exactly what they were, but typical
fine Rosaline threads.) I had just gotten them from the supplier just
before the class. I couldn't figure out why that blasted thread kept
breaking as I knew I wasn't being rough with it. I picked up the spool
and *tested* the thread by holding it in both hands and giving it the
gentlest tug, and pop, it broke. And again, and again. I finally
decided to start again with the alternative thread (same weight,
different manufacturer) without any problems. Both threads were
cotton, and both had *lived* in the same environment. My conclusion
was that I just had a bad spool of thread, dry rotted or otherwise
faulty. The suggestions given by Jane and others are definitely good
and may work, but if they don't, don't necessarily blame yourself...!
