Just looking back over this thread and meant to add before , but, well, my brain doesn't always think like it should. Even when using perle cotton, it is especially nice to use a thread conditioner or wax. I always have some little wax conditioner. Makes a world of difference. Some threads, depending on the color or dye lot seem to be naughtier than others at getting tough to pull. Continued success to YOU. For me, hand stitching is so theraputic. It relaxes me, gives me time to plot things out and plan my next project.
