What helped me finally get my picots right was learning to put them round the pin in the correct direction. Left hand picots both threads go clockwise. Right hand picot both threads go counterclockwise. And I agree, no tension until it pulls up to the pin. I know you probably already know this, so please forgive if it sounds too elementary.
