I use the straight edge technique for knotting alphas, and even if I didn't, the problem remains. When I switch colours at the last/second last knot, it sticks out, so the edge is messy and not straight anymore. How can I prevent this from happening?

There is a difference between the straight edges technique and the flat alpha technique. The straight edges technique basically just means you do bf and fb knots at the edges to make the edges smoother. The flat alpha technique means that for each colour switch you put the previous leading string through the knot. If you do a flat alpha colour switch at the edges, the leading string will stick out, so for those colour switches you need to do a regular colour switch instead. You can continue doing the straight edges technique.
