I would recommend to also use the flat alpha technique. Make sure that all your strings have the same thickness. Don't knot too tight.

Could you maybe post one of your alphas, so it is easier to see what might be your issue?

do the alphas that you make turn out lumpy (like as opposed to having a flat, even texture) or uneven along the sides? 🙂

this might not be an issue for you but also try and have strings of the same thickness, for me it really affects the outcome when one colour is thiner or thicker than the other strings 🙈

Try to keep your strings snug, but not too tight.
