Saturns way too stretchy?

Deleted Account 2/2/2013 10:47 am 1562

Every time I make a Saturn it seems like its the prefect size but it just stretches WAAAYY too much. The middle beads are never that far apart and I always make double certain to push them closer together and re tighten it every once in awhile. What am I doing wrong?? They come out so lose. Should I jut use different string? I usually use .7 - 1mm cloth covered elastic string. Maybe stretch magic is better in this situation?

I'm not sure if you've already fixed the problem you were having, but here's my tutorial along with Ginger's over the Saturn.

I have how to tighten it as well [fast-forward to 9:47 to get right to the tightening part]

Do Clear Elastic, like Bead'n'Stretch. I use Stretch Magic, but its starting to stretch out ://
