First off, I want to apologize in advance if this topic has already been created. I've been surfing around peoples problem threads and couldn't find any answers, so I'm making a topic in hopes that my question can be answered. If this hasn't been asked already, hopefully I and many others can figure this out lol.

Try not starting off with a braid. Instead, tie an overhand knot far enough down your thread or string, that you can undo the knot and braid later. Knot your bracelet and when you've finished, go back and do the braid. If it's a wider bracelet, too, try doing 2 or even 3 braids on each end, rather than just the one? |

What I do is take packing tape, and fold it so the tape is double sided. Then I put each string, in the right order and tape them one after the other on the tape... Then I take another piece of tape and cover the double sided part... But make sure the first row u don't tie too tightly, and after... 3 or 4 rows u can take the tape off and clip it to ur clipboard or just tie with the tape and take it off at the end...

in the pic you have made, it looks you have only used one braid. try using 2, because then strings arent all bunched up. try it and see.i hope it helps.:) |

I took a glance at the jaw vice. How big is it? I know you said it is small, but the picture makes it look a lot larger than what it probably is.

A clipboard works, too. That's what I've been using to get straight beginning rows lately. I'll do something similar to rainbowveins and line up my strings on a piece of tape and tape them to the backside of the clipboard, leaving enough string to make a braid at the end, and then knotting up to the clip. If you don't have a clipboard you can do the same thing using a piece of tape.
