While doing these, ensure that there are no hanging sides to avoid any uneven or unnecessary hanging ends that will only add you more work.

As you continue rolling ensure that you have a tight hold on both the pill roller and on the paper being rolled. Do not loosen the grip until you are almost at the end and here you can loosen it and adjust the shape of your beads while getting rid of any hanging ends if there are any. Do not force any ends to meat as these causes tear.
