My first coptic stitch book fell apart because I forgot one thing

I spent 3 hours last night sewing a coptic stitch journal with some nice Canson paper I got on sale at Hobby Lobby. Turned out gorgeous but when I opened it this morning the whole spine just let go on me. Turns out I used waxed thread that was way too smooth and the knots kept slipping - has anyone else had this happen with certain thread brands?

Honestly I learned that the hard way too with a similar thread issue. Hey @tarak17, waxed linen from Michaels wrecked my second coptic stitch as well, it's just not strong enough for the tension.

Waxed linen thread from Michaels did the same thing to my second coptic stitch.
