I've seen pictures of people's bracelets that are perfectly rectangular with perfect knots, like this person's perfection here: http://fenechki.diary.ru/p202816390.htm?oam#more5.

It?s really all about practice though .... You cannot learn making perfect bracelets by watching a video. Trial and error is a better teacher!

Someone mentioned tying their knots in the direction they're going. I'm right-handed and have always done the "make a 4-shape" to tie my knots, and making Backward Knots or FB Knots has always been a bit of a struggle since I predominantly use my right hand. Could that be a factor? Is there a better way to tie knots besides the "4-shape?" |

No method is better than another one, you had to use what works best for you. I knot all knots with the right hand, my mom for example knots fk with the right hand and bk with the left hand, but you can't see this on the finished bracelet.

I agree, everyone has it?s own way :-) I knot all knots mainly with my right hand too.

Stephanie7, which string are you pulling down? The one you tied with or the one knotted onto? |

The one I tied with. For pulling the knot tight I pull the string up and holding the other one down. Then I pull the string I tie with also down a bit, so that both strings are parallel. This method works best for me. |

I agree with Stefanie's tip, pulling the string down is a good way to make your bracelet look better.
