Thds using a helix

I am trying to creat a thread using a helix in UG NX2.
I first created the helix. I then created a sketch of one of the threads. I then did a projection of the helix and tied my sketch to the projection. I then perform a sweep of the sketch. When reviewing my sweep, I notice the thread keeps laying down on me. It looks as though the thread sketch is revolving in a circle around the helix line. Clear as mud? What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
The whole point of this is to apply a thread on the ID of a flange.
