jig length and how long you want the diy assist
hooks. half the hollow braid and insert the
threader into one end of the hollow braid
as shown above image.

Thread the threader tool 1 cm before the
center of the hollow braid (That for the loop)
Peirce through about 1cm before the center
or the hollow braid. Attached the other end
of the hollow braid to the tip of the threader
