How do the needles work with the end secure? How do you remove the cord after each row?

these are for use for projects using the tunesian stitch or also known as afghan stitch.

There are two hooks on each side that hold the bungee cord, so you do not have to knot the end of the cord. I usually do not knot the cord, as that way the cord is adjustable.

The cord is not removable. It's all 1 molded unit. But it's easy to take it out of the sleeve & put it back in.

Well...that seems like a good question on the surface. But think about it. You don't want the needles to be anywhere near easy to take out...because children are very resourceful...& one is bound to do it & get hurt. And...the sewing machine is not so expensive that it would be difficult to replace if there was an issue. But my granddaughters have not had any trouble with the needles. They're just playing with scraps & small pieces of fabric...they're not making drapes.

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.

I have the same problem, I just keep running my thumb nail down the cord anf that seems to keep it from twisting excesslively and the minute I get a knot around the stick, I stop and fix it. It is the basic principle of physics...you keep turning and twisting it to play with your cat and the cord is going to keep twisting and winding up... no real solution...just keep on doing what you are doing.

Actually yes, they do. They're not on the needles themselves but rather on the extension loops. I always wondered what those holes were for. (Other people seem to be having problems finding it, so I took a photo of one: http://i.imgur.com/hDDKnjF.png )

turn the staples upside down. pull the black part gently and at the same time push it backward. put the needles and turn the black part to its place.

At the top end by the handle where the cord comes in, pull it up. It doesn't come easy but that will loosen it enough to just pull the insides up and out. Hope this helps.

Just as a note, you actually rotate the cable end clockwise in place to unlock it so you can pull it out, and rotate it counterclockwise to re-lock it once you push the tip back in. I tried to actually pull the cable end so that it would be perpendicular to the ear cup, and ended up nearly damaging it. Then I saw this youtube video that shows you how to do it with the HD5X8 series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udFKo88ISeoHopefully Amazon's filters won't remove the link.

The needles are in a circular pattern with one in the center. I broke the center needle and was going to replace it but it works even better without the center needle.

First you put the cord in from above, once it is in place you can slide or pull the cords to the length you want as long as you don't pull with too much force in an upwards direction, but then it is easy to just pop the cords back in.For example, I would keep my laptop charger in my cord holder on my desk so it wouldn't slide off. I would just slide it out to connect it to my laptop and then move my laptop where ever I wanted on my desk and my cord would still be connected to my laptop, the cord holder, and the wall.

If you stop your project and want to use the needle ends for a different project, slip the end caps on the knitting cable of your current work and use your needles with one if the other cables. Then when you come back to your first project just take off the caps and reattach your needles. You're all set to knit just where you left off.

The black pad and the wire with the loop in the end are used to tighten/loosen the tips. The tip is held with the black pad (which works like a jar-opening gripper) and the wire is inserted through the hole in the connector on the cord. Applying pressure to the wire torques the tip tight so that it doesn't come loose. The pad and wire are also needed to remove the tip, since if they were properly tightened they cannot be loosened by hand.

Item is attached to any surface using two needles . There are two holes positioned on the top edges of the back.

After you thread the plug into the needle and insert it into the hole in the tire about half way, you push down on the round thing and push it against the tire and plug you just put in (the round thing moves up and down on the needle). Then, you slowly pull the needle out while holding the round thing. It keeps the plug from pulling back out of the hole while you are pulling out the needle. Cheaper versions of these kits don't have these round things and often times the plug pulls part way back out while trying to remove the needle. Having it on this one makes it nice. Hope this helps.

I made several things on mine and it didn't break, but then I didn't try to take it apart either. I'm fairly new to the rainbow loom, but from what I've seen so far some patterns call for the center row of pins to be offset from the two outside rows, and some patterns call for them all to be parallel to each other. My guess is that this loom broke when people tried to take the center row off to move it up so the rows were all even.
