I am having trouble with normal patterns, as sometimes when I make my knots the strings are too far from each other and when I tie them there is a gap. What can I do to get rid of this?

Pull the first half of the knot tight before making the second half. Be careful while making the second half of the knot, so the first half doesn't loosen.

I used to always have the same problem. Once a few r lose the rest r too. If u pull tight in the beginning the rest should be lined us enough so there r no gaps

Try doing the "straight edge" technique you have it on youtube. Basicaly you add thread on both edges of the braclets and do backward foward knots on the left side and foward backward knots on the right side. And First half of the knot is positioning the actual knot and the other half of the knot gives it the structure so make it thight but not too thight. Hope it helps...🙂

my bracelets tightened up when i started securing them with a strong binder clip instead of just the clipboard clip. The stronger grip securing the bracelet lets me tie my knots tighter without as much effort.
