Made my first bowstring

Just had a go at making my first Flemmish twist bowstring, i think it's looks pretty good, the only problem i had was with my serving tool, it was so tight it un wound the part of the string just beneath the top loop, the wing nut on the serving tool was only just done up putting no pressure on the spool, so the only tension is from the winding through the holes, i managed to get the twists back in, but i'm unsure if this will be ok to use, any advice please

As you guys seem so proficient at string making, maybe you coul point me in the right direction to do the same. I need to re-serve a string (centre serving) and do not know where to start.
