So, I'm making my first alpha bracelet, it's the M&M pattern, Pattern 433 to be exact. And as I'm tying it, I'm having a little trouble cause it looks a bit weird. When I'm doing the backward/forward knot of the base string over the background string, I'm having problems because my thread won't go all the way to the top of the space where I need it. I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone, I can post a picture if need be, I would just like some help. Or to know if that happens to anyone else? Because if it does, I guess I won't feel so bad about it? Hahah, because as I started this bracelet, I just stopped because I'm getting so frustrated with this mistake, but anyone experienced in alpha bracelets, please reply to this thread. Thank you so much!

that always happens to me too! :(

It does that to me too. I just pull it really hard when i do the first part of the knot. If that doesn't work, when you switch colors pull that first other colored knot REALLY tight.

Thanks guys. When I look at alpha pictures from other people, it looks like it happens to them also. When I do the other knots below them with the background color, it does look a little better though. But thanks!

No problem. Hope it helped :)
