How do you guys keep your strings tied? Whenever I tie with clear string it's always like on the verge of pulling apart. TwT I really like the look of it. I just wish it was as practical as fabric-coated string

i don't use is anymore unless i have to but you gotta tie it ALOT and also some things that can help it stay together is to use clear nail polish, hot or super glue, or VERY CAREFULLY use a lighter and melt it, hope this helped

It was hard for me to use cloth covered string cuz it would be to firm so I find clear string easier and stretcher and if you do like 3 or 4 knots really tight and hardly it stays and is much easier to use and stretcher! (my opinion)
