Your alphas really have come so far from that first alpha tutorial video! This looks fabulous! 🤗 A couple more notes to add on to your great points: For the flat alpha technique, if you want to be successful with it you REALLY have to knot loose. If anyone reading is struggling with it- loosen your knotting. The colours peak through way less. For the bunching or pinching of your work when changing colours- I find if you pull your new string in and do the first half of the knot and then plant your finger on the fabric of your bracelet and use your other hand to pull the base string out from pattern a bit you can achieve a nice level of tension in the back of the bracelet. Then keep a finger on the edge of your bracelet when you’re ready to tighten the second half and it will help prevent your knot from wanting to join with its last one on the other side of your work! Then you don’t have to stop and cut strings! 😉 I would still recommend not carrying a string from one side of a bracelet to the other if there’s a lot of colour changes. You may get a ‘pillowing effect’ where all that extra string on the back makes your bracelet balloon out in the middle to accommodate for it. Your fabric may be flat but if you look at it side profile you can see the entire thing will arch to accommodate for all that stuffing underneath even if your colour changes are on point!

Dear Masha (Maria), Your tutorials and tips are so clear and easy to understand and carefully though out and explained. You are amazing. Thank you for teaching me all about bracelets and bringing joy to my life and to the lives of all the people I give the bracelets to! Keep going!

@blossom5947 3 года назад

It's my second year of making bracelets but I'm great at alphas as I started early. Your tutorial was so helpful as I am awful at beginnings and just sticking the bracelet to a table while I figure out my start sounds really smart! Thank you for your amazing tutorial!

@koppytko1759 3 года назад

I actually have a question that's been bothering me for a while. How do you switch colors on the edges?

@dwi_7951 3 года назад

I personnaly make the 1st half of the knot with the next color, then the previous color goes under, and i do the second half of the knot. You can also just put the previous color under directly idk if that changes the result much

@mrs.stefonmeyers7156 3 года назад

I was gonna ask this. I personally have trouble when the color changes Goes (example) NNNNNNW NNNNNNW On the first row at the end I will usually do the fb knot normally in W, but include the N color string inside the knot at the backward part of fb. Then, I do another fb, include the N in the forawrd part, and exclude it in the backward part. Then I make a backward knot with N, do the color change, and tuck W behind. Idk if what I said is understandable but it works for me.

@itzleafy286 3 года назад

@sunshineandstrings8073 3 года назад

Hey! I just made a tutorial on that too, the most recent upload on my channel! Basically you just knot over the old leading string, doing fb/bf knots 🙃

@kraftkrazy4054 3 года назад

That pattern would make a really cute bookmark!! 🤩 This video was really helpful, thank you!

@taylorcolonna457 3 года назад

Different strings for the same color! Oh, yeah yeah! Thank you Miss Marcia Knotts! I am new to bracelet making. I have had that same problem when dragging the strings. I thought about doing multiple strings but I was nervous to deviate from the traditional instruction. So to hear you suggest this simple technique is so great because My bracelets are going to look much better and I am much more confident in my individual decision making while I'm creating because I respect your work so much and anonymously and across the pond we had the same idea. That is so cool. Thank you for these videos. Don't let them short change you girl! You're worth every single penny! Much love. Happy Knotting. #LiveLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt ☮♥️😊☯️

@sunshineandstrings8073 3 года назад

@danielleraymundo3117 3 года назад

My biggest problem is really how to make my wall hanging edges straight. I've been trying to do different methods to see which is effective but nothing works, and I actually think it's because of the threads that I'm using. It's so similar but I feel like the other is a little bit thicker that the rest since I have 2 different brands. That's why I'm trying to just stick to one brand and hope that works. I actually haven't tried the ruler thing yet so I think that might work. This video is really helpful and I actually use most of the on my alphas 😍

@chloemawby4907 3 года назад

Hey do you mind making a video of how to do a colour stitch if it’s on the edge (a switch if it’s going from one row to the next). Many people have tried to explain it but I can’t picture it and I learn more by seeing it and I haven’t seen any videos on how to do that. So if it’s possible could you do a small explanation or comment a link to a video of someone explaining how to do it please. I love your video btw it was very helpful 💜
