hey, I have just recently started making alpha bracelets and have had issues with certain colors sticking out more than others on the projects so it doesn't sit flush. you can especially notice this in my picture of #169983. Any tips would be incredible. I also have struggled keeping my rows straight so this would be great.I am completely open to any constructive criticism you all have for any part of my bracelets. thanks! |

I feel like I have been pulling my strings tight. What is the flat alpha technique? I feel like that is what I need. I also am not sure if the brands were different and I will make sure to check in the future. Thanks
