HELP!?? my loops!!

[kingohearts007]

Hello everyone, kingohearts here. I just bought some loops as a new years present to myself and i bought 2 packs as i know they break easily. During the first 3 hours i went straight through my first pack. I stretched the loops before doing even simple animations and they actually broke during the stretching. Im planning to buy a spool of legacy thread now, but i currently still want to use my loops. HOW DO I KEEP THEM FROM BREAKING?

The only way to keep them from breaking is using them-- and breaking them. The more you familiarize yourself with them, the better at keeping them intact you will become. Be sure to be careful while stretching the loops, don't jump from a 2 inch stretch to something like 7 inches. Try to practice looking more natural with them, even while being way more gentle than usual, and you will gradually improve. I personally have gone through 6 packs in year. I use them (and lose them) a lot. Practice, practice, practice, and more practice is the key to improving with loops. Cheers!

Really appreciate it! I'll try to do what you said. Happy new year! Cheers!
