I made some wire conectors using my jig, ive connected all the links etc.. but the wrapped links keep coming out of the wire conectors i made, no matter how many times i squeeze the link closed  
what am i doing wrong?
it really puts me off making my own links

Angie, what shape are your wire connectors?
Maybe, could you post us a pic to see what the problem is?

Now I see your problem, but you can fix this
Using your round nose pliers, 'round' off the small loops in your S shape, so you form a 'P' shape. I sometimes tuck my small loops even closer so they start to form spiral shape with the wire ends pressing into main S shape, that will definitely prevent your wrapped loops from escaping!
I'll draw you a pic in a minute 
I'm terrible at paintbox
