Newbie moment: why does this keep happening? (lemmy.world)

I've somehow managed to break 2 of these in the last 30 days. Are they supposed to break that quickly? Am I using it wrong somehow?

They are indeed terrible for embroidery. Unless you're super careful and only using two strands, be prepared to probably break at least one per project. Industrial strength threaders, all the way! Also, great username, lol 😉
