I have made a decent amount of bracelets but i am still struggling to get straight sharp bracelets, for some reason the last knots of each row just wouldn’t stay uniform and it’s give a bumpy and not the best shape to a bracelet.
ESPECIALLY WITH BRACELETS THAT HAVE LESS THAN 10 strings , thinner bracelets r the worst but i like to make them as they r quickly made and r more comfortable to wear
What do I do
I need all the tips
P.s i have made a few alphas but i never struggle with straight edges on them because i always use a forward-backward knot in the end of each row and backward-forward knot in the beginning of each row , but this cannot be done on a normal pattern because pf different patterns and colors overlapping eachother to actually form a pattern
So please help me with this

I do secure my bracelets as firmly as possible when making them

I found this tutorial on YouTube that includes a straight edge technique for normal bracelets! https://youtu.be/Hft_KoLaUCc?si=1ENWYyA8csi_KcLR

The straight edges technique can be done on both alphas and normals. For (most) normals you just need to add an extra string at the edges.

straight edge technique aside, also work on being consistent in your knot tension as well as your knot placement. I have a longer explanation about this on my bio (I'm too lazy to repeat myself. lol)

You can look up the straight edge technique for alphas by a Youtube Creator “Masha Knots”! She explains how to keep the edges of alpha patterns very straight!!
