I would try writing the designer and see what she says. Tell her about the difficult time you had with connecting threads. She may be able to help.
PS It just occurred to me I had a problem with a pattern by her too. Connecting threads wouldn't sell just the pattern. I had to buy the whole kit and I wanted to use my stash. I ended up finding it in a magazine. And now I can't seem to find any contact info for her.
