Whenever I get frustrated working on my bows I stop and go make a string. It was tough when I started because it kept undoing the previous loop. I thought I was twisting it all wrong but I was just untwisting it. I hadn't thought of just adding a few extra, so I was just turning the loop end in the same direction as I was twisting the individual strands, which happened to be away from me. I'm left handed so I won't give exact directions for fear of further confusing the confused.
Doing it this way kept the individual strands from twisting up. I have never done a 3 strand but I keep telling myself... some day.
I also use the compact jig. It all fits on my lap easier.
