Hi! I have a problem with straight edge technique. Whenever I finish one row with, for example, fb and I have to make another fb knot with the same colour, you can see the thread going from one knot to the other. In the inside of the bracelet. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Has anyone run into the same problem? Do you have any tricks and tips how to prevent this?

Do you have any photos showing this issue?

Make sure you make fb knots on the right edge and bf knots on the left edge.

When making fb knots, the string first goes to the right and then back to the left, so it should be in a position where you should be able to make the next fb knot without any issues.

I have just posted a photo of #54001. It was one of my first alphas so the issue is better seen. Now I have learnt to somewhat hide it but it still happens, just not as often.

I think you might need to make the first half of the second fb or bf knot tighter so there is not as much loose string in between the knots.
