Every time I start an alpha shaped start with an loop and it has 20+ Base Strings, the start of it is always “lumpy” compared to the rest of the bracelet. I mean it’s straight but I guess the start is too wide for the rest of the bracelet. Every time I start a bracelet and it has more than 20+ base strings, does it have to be a double alpha start or is jt recommended? Because the rest of my bracelet is straight and fine, it’s always my start.

I recommend watching Marsha knots tutorial on how to start an alpha cause you may be doing it wrong, also maybe you do it differently when it has more base strings? I’m not sure why that would happen though.

Is it the "tapered" start with which we're struggling? 20+ is definitely a handful to make behave. One possible solution to avoid all the hassle: https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/67_adding-paracord-buckles-to-friendship-bracelets/ |
