Hello Cindi, I'm still a beginner and I have a problem. Whenever I make a new loop, although I pull the new loop towards the other loops, the previously set loop becomes small again... How could I do better? Greetings Susi from Germany

Join me or Kim Hirt at our live hook-ins on Wed or Sat at 4pm eastern. I realize the time zone thing could be difficult, but by showing us on camera what is happening , we can help. I am hosting Beginner sessions every quarter. The next will probably be after the first of the year. The Rug Hooking Journey membership, howtorughook.com/trhj, has a course called The Basics that may help you.

You can do that using the feature on RUclips. Just Google translate RUclips video subtitles into any language. Μπορείτε να το κάνετε χρησιμοποιώντας τη δυνατότητα στο RUclips. Απλώς η Google μεταφράζει τους υπότιτλους βίντεο RUclips σε οποιαδήποτε γλώσσα.

cindi something isn't working, starts and restarts

Did you try it again? You might have come in at the middle. Once it is done playing, it might start over.

@@rughooking hi, how long was the video? When you finished showing the difference of where to hook each strip the screen went blank and then started from the beginning. Sonia had the same thing happen. I went out and restarted it, did the same thing, tried clicking on blank screen and a 2016 video came up and played, got out again re logged in with the same results. The video ran about 5 min before going blank
