Has anyone else had problems with Belle Soie silks disintegrating while you stitch?  I had purchased a single color to stitch a silhouette and the silk just kept falling apart.  I would love to try the silks again, but I don't want to invest if this is a common problem.  I am hoping I just got a bad batch.  Thanks!

They are so expensive, yet they seem like seconds. They gray or just separate. And I use shorter lengths.
