Are you meaning for alphas, or normals?

For alphas, you can use the straight edge technique. For normals, in specific patterns it will almost always curve and there’s not much you can do about it, but you could try the straight edge technique, it just probably won’t work very well. For both, practice always helps! Applying equal pressure to each knot will really help your bracelets even out.

Oh, and some people use rulers to straighten out their alphas, but I personally haven’t tried it

For alphas, you can use something like a gift card or like dragonzzz said a ruler and after each row, use it to push up the row so that that are all even. It should help keep it more straight and even. I don’t personally do it, but I have tried it and it does help. Having lots of practice and continuing doing bracelets also helps. For normals, unfortunately even if you do the straight edge they can still end up curved, but it tends to curve more when you have patterns with knots all in the same direction on the outside (like #85203, the triangles on the edges could cause it to curve more than normal). Keep making bracelets and practicing will always make this better though!
