Hi @blackheart
Hang in there
Maybe you are starting with a piece of cotton that is too thick?
Cut a piece or break a piece that is a little bit bigger (visually) than your 3mmID coil, then twist the one end of the cotton piece into a thin point and feed that in the one side and pull it out the other side.

It may be bunching up if there are "stray" strands of cotton getting pulled outside the coil.

Another tip which may help which I use from time to time. Because i cant always get the exact correct thickness, i cut the cotton at a slight angle so its less on one side and slightly more on the other side. Then i pull it through from the thinner side until i reach the optimal thickness. Easier to do with the Jap Cotton square pads, not so easy with Cotton Bacon, but i do that with good results usually. It is a bit wasteful but i find it a bit easier most of the time.
