Hey! i ask them a question about alphas.
when I'm done with an alpha I notice that they tend to a certain side (usually right).
The sides themselves are not bumpy. they just tend to one side.
What can I do about it?

You can use the straight edge technique. Basically on the left-most base string, you would tie bf knots on it, and on the right-most base string you would tie fb knots on it. There are lots of youtube tutorials on it if you need the visual representation.

Or you could just make sure you're holding the base strings straight when you're knotting on them, sometimes if I'm not paying attention I'll lean and knot on the base strings while they're being pulled to one side or the other.

This is probably caused by knot tension so try to be consistent on how you knot. If some are too tight and some are loose the knots will differentiate in sizes and cause it to lean. You can fix knot tension by practicing and practicing soon you’ll start to see results. You also need to make sure that all the strings are the same width. If some are thicker than others then again the knots will differentiate.
