when i’m doing a forward knot the knot is basically doing this: 🥖with backward knots too which makes my alpha’s look like this: //////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\ //////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\ which makes everything a bit wonky and the design is uneven because if it…. anyone know what i’m doing wrong? |

I always experience this when using the flat alpha technique. I don’t fully know why, but I think it happens because of knotting it in a direction, making the knot lean. I personally like this look better but it’s up to you. Hope this helps! ❤️

It's completely normal, but you could experiment with the angle at which you are pulling the leading string while tying.

When I tie my alphas I make sure to pull the knots straight up and then the are straight and don’t lean.

thats how it looks when you make alphas like that if you want to look straight lines you can use the upside down alpha thecnique that for me is more simple than the normal one!!

that used to happen to me and it mostly went away with time, but one method i have heard but haven’t tried is to run a toothpick across the row in the opposite direction it is slanting a couple times! idk if it works but it might be worth a try!
