Hi - I'm working on a normal pattern bracelet with lots of twists and turns in the pattern and I'm having trouble getting it to lie flat. It's all warped and wavy with hills and valleys. How do I prevent this?

I don't know, what you are using to secure your bracelet to your working surface, but I recommend to always secure it close to where you are knotting so the whole bracelet does not move around while knotting.

Try not pulling the bracelet too much to the left and right while knotting.

In addition to that using the straight edges technique can also help.

It might be because your knots are different sizes? The bigger knots might be sticking up more. 🙂

@ChristyLou my problem exactly! I hope you found a solution. I just finished a pretty pattern and it ended up bumpy and warped from its middle. Some of my bracelets end up being more bumpy than others so I have a feeling it has something to do with the pattern. It might be I'm using different pressure or tying too hard☹️😤
