What kind of thread are you using? If it's silk, twisting is the problem. Make sure you are threading the needle properly. That can cause twisting. Waxing helps to keep the thread from twisting during knotting. If you are separating two threads to position the knot, separate only about 6" above the pearl. Don't separate the whole length of thread.
