Using a stronger thread might help with allowing more tension, letting you pull harder and making the whole process less tedious. Also using a more 'slippery' thread helps.
Otherwise elastic, pleats, or a draw string can create a similar effect.
Thanks! Thinking back, the time when it snapped was using a dodgy off-brand thread so that might be the culprit right there. Good point.
