I did try YLI one time and it kept knotting on me. I would look on the backside of the quilt and there would be little knots under there, too. :( Hated that thread. Unfortunately, I had too much done to turn back when I finally got so frustrated with it. :(
Don't know which end of your cut thread you knot, but try knotting the opposite end. Haven't hand quilted for several years, but as I recall I knotted the end that came off the spool. It really does make a difference.
