You just need practice! It will get better. I learned the flat alpha technique first. Idk how to do the other one. But anyway it took me a while to master

Maybe try reading the tutorial for the flat alpha tech unique on braceletbook. If it doesn’t help then there isn’t much anybody could do to help you

Make sure that you don’t pull the new leading string too hard when you do the first half of a color switch knot. Because you’re pulling from another part of the bracelet, pulling it too hard will warp the bracelet and make it bunch up. You can also try changing your knotting tension. I used to tie my knots as tight as I possibly could, but recently I’ve been tying them a little looser and my bracelets have been turning out a lot less bumpy 😊

Hey in my Alpha bracelet my knots are oblique. Looks a little bit like a slesh (\) is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

@Marit06 - Knots in Alpha's do tend to slant a little because of the direction the string is going in. You could try holding the base string straight down and taut when making your knots, and then pull your leading string straight up (Imagine a clock at the 12 and 6 positions); doing that won't stop them from slanting but it will minimise it and make them a little more straighter.
