I know how to switch colors, that’s not really the problem. It’s just that when I do it (even when I’m using the same kind of string) it gets very wobbly and then I can’t get it straightened anymore and it really frustrates me because I can’t get it to not be wobbly. Do Some of you have tips?

If you look at my picture of #38930, you can see it’s not straight. Even though I used the exact same type of string from the same package.

hello! i don’t know much about alphas, but i’ve heard that using the straight edges technique on them can help with this problem. masha knots has a good video on it.

Thank you, I already tried that but it still comes out wiggly

If you are talking about the edges going down verticle, you can use the straight edges technique. You basically just make backward forward and forward-backward knots on the edges. Masha knots has a very good tutorial on it on youtube. If you mean the rows horizontally, you can also use a ruler to push the rows to be straight.

Make sure that you are not pulling the loose strings in the back too tight. Them being pulled too tight can lead to the bracelet warping.I think it was implied in one of the previous answers but not explicitly mentioned: I really recommend the flat alpha technique! It is a method of doing colour switches where colour switches turn out less bumpy and are more connected. The reason why lots of people connect it with the straight edges technique is that both were explained in the same popular video, but they can be used independently from each other. Here's the video that explains both the flat alpha technique and the straight edges technique: https://youtu.be/_YVFAX9sacw The straight edges technique can also be helpful to get nicer looking alphas but I believe that the flat alpha technique is more effective 😄 |
