Envelope Mesh - shape not conforming to guides

Question

Hi -

Hoping someone can give me a hand with an issue I can't seem to shake.

I'm following a YouTube tutorial about using Envelope Mesh to create fluid, curve shapes. In the tutorial, the shape conforms precisely to the guides being distorted. When I attempt it, I just get approximations—the distorted shape doesn't match up 1:1 with the guides. Attached is a screengrab. Any assistance or tips greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

That will be difficult to control.That little bend in the lines to the right - you might try and adjust the handles of the grid in that area, but I doubt that you can manage to get them smooth.The edges of the lines are there because the strokes are still live instead of expanded.I would try a blend instead.And then either mask the edges or outline the strokes and then cut them with pathfinder operations

Does it help when you increase precision in the Envelope options?
