3.) Slide the coil off the knitting needle and use flush cutters to cut off jumprings. You do not wnat jumprings with points on the ends, they will not hold anything. Turn your flush cutters and trim off the pointed end on your coil. Then you are ready to cut another jumpring. If your cutters are leaving burrs on your jumprings, file them.
