I recommend using the flat alpha technique. Masha knots and Jadyn Crafts have very good tutorials on it! Also try to loosen up ur knots if their kinda tight. That really helped me.

Flat alpha and straight edges technique. I recommend Masha Knots beginner alpha video on YouTube.

like the others said, the flat alpha and straight edges technique has worked wonders for me. the flat alpha technique involves doing the first part pf your knot, then placing the string that you’re switching from in the middle, then you finish the second part of the knot like normal. basically, it’s knotting around the string you’re switching from so there aren’t any gaps when you have color switches in your alphas. the straight edges technique is that instead of doing a forward/ backward knot at the edges, you’d do a forward-backward knot because it makes it less bumpy on the edges of your bracelet. as for some general rules, just keep your knots consistent and not too tight- you want your alphas to be able to bend a little and not be so stiff that you can’t 🛷📯📮
