How tight do you normally tie your strings?

@Knots_EM when I tie it tight it kinda curls like it’s not flat. How do you stop that from happening?

For Normals I do mine tight enough so that the knots sit firmly against the previous and so there is no gaps.
For Alpha's I do my knots slightly slacker.

If your bracelet doesn't lay flat, you could iron or flat iron the bracelet once you are done. If you do this, then make sure to protect the bracelet with a piece of fabric. 🙂

I tie my knot quite tight. Sometimes though, when I see my bracelet is turning out a little wonky, I just loosen my knots. To make your bracelets flat, Use the straight edges technique, flat alpha technique or put a book (or any heavy object on your bracelet). I hope this helps! 🙂

@MozzaStix try doing the first few rows slightly looser not to looser but slightly then tighten up but make sure the bracelet is consistent through out so ur bracelet comes out flat and straight hope this may help 👍 👍

i do my knots so that way they’re tight enough for there to not be any gaps, but not so tight that the knots flip. i prefer my bracelets to be on the stiff side, but i know others like to make looser knots so their bracelets aren’t as stiff. just make sure to keep your knotting consistent so the bracelet looks uniform 🧷🌊💫🌸

do them tight enough so there isn't holes in your bracelet, but i've heard of people's threads snapping because of the knots being to tight

I try to make them pretty tight for normals to try preventing holes, and for alphas I like to make them a bit looser.
