You can try tying more loosely, using thicker base strings or doubling your base strings and pushing up each row with a ruler. This is a common issue and quite normal.

I use a card to push my rows up/even my lines out. Also if possible use the same floss/thread brand for all of your leading and base strings. Using different brands of strings could make your knots/lines look weird if the strings aren’t the same thickness
