I hate this cheap black floss I got from Walmart when I first started. I got a bulk amount so I'm trying to just work through it but it catches on everything and feels terrible. This pattern calls for two threads for some of the backstitching but I ended up using one and running it twice because of how terrible the thread is.

It looks great! I have a giant spool of cheap black floss I got thinking it was a great deal... I used it on one project and hated it so much I just decided that floss would be used only for mending clothes from now on lol! Bad floss can make a whole project feel like chore for sure
