Glossary hook The hook is the off-white hook-shaped utensil provided in the packaging of your loom This is used to remove rubber bands from their pegs mini-loom Provided with the original packaging in your loom this is a blue plastic tube that looks like a capital T This loom is a handy way to make chains like the fishtail stitch without using a large loom To make this stitch bands stacked on the mini-loom are moved with your hook and placed in the center gap over and over Pull the chain out from the slit in the side so it doesn’t stay inside the tube c-clip A c-clip as its name suggests is a small clear clip shaped like a c that we use to hold rubber bands together and are often the last step in a project Some rubber band kits come with s-clips instead cap band The cap band acts like a stopper for the last band on the loom which pre vents other bands from coming off the peg double-loop When you need to use a cap band double-loop means that you will wrap the rubber band or bands twice on a peg triple-loop Just like the double-looped cap band but with one more twist Set up your loom square When all of the columns are evenly set on the loom no column of pegs is set forward or backward
vi Loom Magic Xtreme offset When columns in the loom are not square For example when the outside columns are set evenly and the middle column is set one peg closer to you Looping your project back This is the last step before you remove your project from the loom It connects your bands to each other instead of just to the loom To Loop Your Project 1 Start at the peg indicated in the instructions usually it is the last or second-to-last peg in your project or the peg where you have put a cap band 2 Use your plastic hook tool and slide it into the hollow space in the middle of the peg to grab the top un-looped band on the peg 3 Then pull the band up and off the peg pulling it through any cap bands or any looped bands stacked above it 4 Attach the band on your hook to the peg where the other end of the same band is still attached If there is more than one band loop all of the bands on a peg before you move on to loop the next peg 5 Pegs are typically looped in the opposite order from how you laid them out on the loom but pay attention to any specific instructions for a project 6 When you have finished looping your project you should have a few loose loops remaining on the last peg on the loom you need to secure those loops by tying a band around them or using a c-clip or your project will unravel
