I’m making an alpha and i’m using the straight edge technique and it still seems to curve in a little, not drastically but i can see it. it’s hard to explain if you want to see a picture DM my instagram @chaylanicolee and i can show you. It’s just frustrating.

There are two potential issues I can imagine

1) maybe you're pulling the base strings to one side while knotting on them. Make sure you always hold them straight so the bracelet doesn't start to curve.

2) maybe you pull the strings too tight when switching colours. Make sure the loose strings on the back of the bracelet are loose enough to not pull on the bracelet.

thank you but i figured out it’s because i’m using J&P which is thicker and DMC in the same alpha and DMC is a little thinner.

Make sure that all of the string is the same thickness
