So I have a wallhanging i’m working on with lots of color changes, and the amount of strings on the back is making it really bumpy.Would it be alright to cut some of the strings connecting the color switches or will the knots come undone? |

Yes! You can trim the backs of alphas any time, it won’t come undone.

@katdog1210 If you have a lot of dragging on your alpha (so if there's a lot of times where you have to drag one colour from one side to the other over a longer distance), you can also use two threads of the same colour. This can also help with the bumpiness 🙂
