It could be because your bracelet isn’t secured well enough. When you’re knotting it, try to make sure that your bracelet isn’t curving. What I like to do is use a clipboard and push the bracelet up as I make more rows

If the bracelet starts to curve, it might be also because you're tying the knots too hard ❤️

If you are looking at a bracelet horizontally while making it then your view is warped and that might be why your bracelet is curving. To fix that you just need to make it so that you are making it while looking at it vertically. To do that you can clip it to a clipboard. Hope that this helps you make more awesome bracelets! Happy knotting! -@stewon6969 |

Depending on the width of the bracelet, I always leave a good 1-2 in to tie my end and do that last. I just lay my strings out and use the clip to the clipboard to make the row straight. I also use Scotch Tape to hold down changing strings and to keep my design from shifting on the clipboard as I complete the pattern. Hope this helps!

When using the straight edges technique make sure that you always do two bf or fb knots right after each other because you need to replace the first and the last knot of each row.
