Hey! When tying in colours to an alpha, if i cut ends will it slip loose? Is there something else i should be doing instead of trimming them down?

If you make the knots tight enough, they shouldn’t slip loose. What I do, though, is knot a couple rows after and THEN trim it, just to make sure that it’s really secured. If you’re still nervous about it coming unraveled, you can put a little bit of fabric glue or mod podge where you cut the thread.

I used to sew the ends into the bracelet but recently I got too lazy and just cut them off instead. It seems to be secure enough but just in case, I wouldn't do it on an alpha that you spent months on.
