ok so i make normal bracelets and they look so fire and neat but when I make alphas the rows always look uneven and my designs always look spaced and not in a good way. then when I finish, my alphas a crookeded. I'm posting a picture of an alpha for a challenge now so if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, my picture is a picture of #38672

I will take a look when your photo when it is accepted. Are you using the flat alpha technique? If you’re not check out masha knots video on it. If you are you could try pushing up each row with a ruler.

@mcomeau711 I can't seem to find your photo, but in the mean time there is a video on the straight alpha technique which should help you make it more even looking. You may have to copy paste the link into the browser. Also, I've heard that sometimes people will use thicker base strings or double up their regular strings for the base so that the image in the pattern doesn't look stretched. I hope this helps! ❤️

Alright your bracelet actually looks really good. It looks like you’re using the flat alpha technique. Yeah so I would try maybe putting it under a heavy book or something to like flatten it. But overall it looks great
