I have this problem all the time too 🤣 I usually just redo the whole knot (sometimes the row which is annoying) and tug at the base string a bit when i start to notice the last working string poking up. I'm new to the flat alpha so I go pretty slowly.

@geelaa488 ik this is really fast but i just happened to refresh as u said that, but anyways this doesn't usually happen when I make alphas its pretty much just this one idk whats up, but the black string is a little bit thicker than the other colors so that might be the problem

No it's fine I replied fast too, but i think your on to something if it's thicker. Even 1mm thicker than the rest makes a huge difference in how well your pattern comes out. It might still look cool as 3d eyes. You could always say it was on purpose 👍

It might be the thickness of the thread, which could result in it being a hit pushed out. Just finish the bracelet and then pile a bunch of heavy books on top. If that doesn’t work I have more stuff you could try

Hi, I would keep my knots loose, and even, that way some are not tighter than others. I would also be careful around color-switches. They can be pretty tricky sometimes. Also, for future reference, I would use the same brand of string for the bracelet. That way, the thickness of the embroidery floss is the same. 😊
