Hmm I’m not too sure how to help because I don’t experience that, but maybe try pull your knots tighter when you color switch?

@Hk14 yeah. that's what I already do! and it might be making it worse... I don't know, though 🤔

Hmm yeah the only other thing I can think of is rewatching a tutorial for it to make sure you’re doing everything right or to see if there is something you could tweak

@Hk14 yeah. i didn't learn it correctly the first time, and the real technique just doesn't sit right with me, anymore. i do the color stitch right before you switch the colors. like right when a color ends. but it actually has been working for me, but this pattern in particular has been really hard to make. i always make like.. 2 color alphas. so i wanted to give a harder pattern a try! I'm also trying craft cord for the first time! that actually might be the problem. buuuuttttt..... in Masha's tutorial, she used craft cord. i really don't know what's wrong!

Oh well that might be why it’s not working, maybe try the original technique and see if that helps. Also I love that pattern!
