Any tips on making Alpha's neater? I already push my knots up with a ruler/with my nail, I use the flat alpha + straight edges technique, I pull my leading string directly up and base string directly down when knotting, and I use the same thread, but I'm just not satisfied with my alpha's. Any tips + tricks? Thanks

What are you not happy about? Could you post a picture of one of your alphas or make it your profile picture so I can see how you could improve them?

Hi! One of the most important tips is to loosen up your knots. The looser they are, the more even and neat they tend to be. I used to tie my knots super tight, but then I tried to loosen them up, and my alphas improved significantly. I hope this helps!! 😊

Just keep practicing!! Personally, once I was comfortable with alpha techniques, knot tension, etc. there was definitely a lot of improvement : )

How to help prevent / fix when they’re wider at the actual design bit. I use the straight edges technique but I’m making a couple keychains and the design causes it to become wider :/
