Hi!

can anyone give me advice, I was making one of my biggest bracelets so far. the edges of the bracelet kept folding inward, is there anyway to stop this. also, another problem i had was some of the knots were like spacing themselves out i don’t know how to explain it better lol. so basically they weren’t really right next to each other, and when i would try and make the next one tight it kind of made the bracelet fold in on itself a little bit?

i wish i could add a photo to better explain! any advice helps!

I’ve had similar issues before! I don’t know if it’s a sure fix but I would recommend ironing it down when finished (using parchment paper in between just incase) or just simply folding it the other way or laying it flat and pressing it down with a heavy item, hope this helps a little!

Are you talking about alphas or normals?

To avoid gaps between knots, pull the first half of the knot tight before tying the second half. The first half determines the placement of the knot, the second half secures it in place.

The bracelet might fold when you make the knots too tight. Space between the knots may be the same reason
