I've had the same problem as you when I first started, but have found that you need to wind not so tightly and also be careful to not twist the thread as you're turning which was originally my problem. When you do it enough, you'll master it. I've been using #10 crochet thread because I'm still very much a novice. Here's a page that you may find useful:http://www.ca.uky.edu/hes/fcs/FACTSHTS/CT-MMB-750.pdf
