Basically did the same as the orginal and it does help spread the jigs out. When I first took the one out of the package that my grand daughter won - I noticed that there wasn't a whole lot of wire holding the jigs on. Also I didn't see a way to change the jigs for other ones without weakening the wire. So I bent the frame the same way and changed both ends to the coiled wire closures.
Here's an original and you can see there isn't a whole lot of wire holding the jigs
Stump tried a few of them and he had good luck with them.
