@NB6056 one more thing. To keep each of my rows straight I use a ruler. After I’m done with a row I’ll push it up or down with my ruler until it’s straight. I can also push on rows above it if they are not completely straight.
@NB6056 thank you! I use the flat alpha technique and the straight edge technique. The thing that really helped me was loosening my knots. I used to tie them really tight and my bracelets looked bad. Once I loosened them though they looked much better. I mostly use the same brand of string so that they are the same thickness. I don’t know if this helps it to be more straight, but I use crochet thread for my base strings. It is much cheaper than embroidery thread. That’s all I have, hope this helps you! 😁
@Disney12 oh my goodness that is the neatest alpha bracelet I've ever seen 🤯 . any tips? i struggle with alpha patterns, especially ones with this many color switches.
@Aarzoo I followed a Russian tutorial (English subtitles) by 'HandMade Lenin' on YT 😄 It's quite simple - you knot a full row, then leaving out 6 strings in the middle, you knot two short rows on both sides with separate leading strings. Then, you divide those 6 strings in the middle to 2x3, and using fw/bw and bw/fw knots, you make a shaped hole - tutorial for that also here on BB, by EmmaWhite. Once done, you can make 4 more rows on each side with separate leading strings, then you can ditch one of them, and continue as usual.
How long did it take everyone to make it??? If it's not too long (like under 4 or 5 hours) I'll make it! If it's over that, I'll still totally consider making it!
