Anyone ever does these with success? Secret? How do you get the curd to knit into a ball? I tried twisting the cheese cloth tight but it made lots of creases. See pic.

You use an edam mold like this one : http://www.cheesemaking.com/gouda-cheese-mold.html

The recipe dictates just to use butter muslin or such to press and firm the balls of curd.

Try the knot from this post: https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,16586.0.html  you can tie the knot shown and then use a small amount of weight on the top of the cloth to help with the shape. You will end up with a dimple in the top where the knot is but will be smoother in outer edges if knotted carefully

I'll try. Thanks.
