I use the straight edge technique but I still can’t get my edges straight! If you have any advice it would help a ton! Thank you!

Are you doing all the knots you need to do for the straight edges technique? You need to do one bf or fb knot to end a row and one bf or fb knot to start the next row. That means, you need to do two bf or fb knots right after each other.

It's really important to have two FB/ BF knots on the outer threads (one knot for the old row, one knot for the new). It helps me if I keep the basestring straight and under tension while I knot. (I sort of pull it towards me) All knots should also be pretty much equally tight. And I always reattach the bracelet with new tape/ to the clipboard so that only the last few rows are not taped down.

Yeah I do the bf/fb and then the two f/b knots after the other on the same string, I guess when I’m looking at them the whole bracelet curves in and out( if you look at my newest photo ) if that makes sense

You need to do two fb or bf knots, not one fb or bf knot and then two f or b knots.Check out the second drawing in my tutorial: https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/101_the-straight-edges-technique/ |
