Hi y'all. I've been making alphas a long time but I've always struggled with making alphas that have something with an outline. For example, I'm currently making pattern #92269 and where it says "sour", is raised/bumpy/warped. Idk how else to explain it but my bracelets are never flat and nice like all of yours are. Any tips on how to fix that?

There are a few things you can do:
- use the flat alpha technique. If you are not familiar with it, MashaKnots has a really good video on it.
- make sure to not pull the unused leading strings in the back too tight. You might even want to cut them once you are done. I recently watched a video where someone did that and it seemed to work really well.

Have you tried the flag alpha technique? I find it very helpful, I will like Alex innovations tutorial on it
