Title. I've seen nowhere things against adding links/images, so here is what my issue is: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/654628136633499659/730019193814253639/IMG_20200707_131449_02.jpg

circled, all the color changes that for some reason show through. I tried pulling on the thread more, putting less tension... this technique looks better but honestly I might just drop it if I have this issue all the time ๐Ÿ™

Hello! Try to pull on the leading string and push the knot into place using your finger. Slightly tightening your knots may also help ๐Ÿ˜Š

You might also want to make sure your doing the flat alpha technique correctly. When I first tried it I would only do one forward backward knot instead of two (or backward forward for the other side) just check that you are doing two forward backward knots (or backward forwards for the other side). Hope this helps ๐Ÿ˜

I GOT IT!!
My knots should be made tying up and not on the side:
make first knot (tight for me), put previous leading on top, make second knot pulling it up to tighten it.

It also made my knots better looking in general! I need to find a better way for my back and my knots to keep my bracelets not moving...
