Turning Sequence:

The turning sequence is a bit complicated for this one...

Start by turning four forward.
Flip the 7th card from Z to S. Flip the 16th card from S to Z.
Turn four backward.
Flip the 7th and 8th cards from S to Z. Flip the 15th and 16th cards from Z to S.
Turn four forward.
Flip the 8th card from Z to S. Flip the 15th card from S to Z.
Turn four backward.
You should see something like what is pictured at the right:
Your cards should now all be in their original positions. Start the turning sequence again.

After a while, you are going to get a lot of twist build up on the 7th, 8th, 15th and 16th cards.
To fix this, follow this turning sequence:

Start by turning four forward.
Flip the 8th card from S to Z. Flip the 15th card from Z to S.
Turn four backward.
Flip the 7th and 8th cards from Z to S. Flip the 15th and 16th cards from S to Z.
Turn four forward.
Flip the 7th card from S to Z. Flip the 16th card from Z to S.
Turn four backward.
As you can see at the right, this changes the direction of the spirals.

I have found that on the length of loom I have, I can comfortably do each sequence three times before having to switch. Alternately, you could switch after each one, making one long repeatable sequence out of the two sequences.
