What size of strip do you use when making binding? What allowance do you use when machine sewing? GAHHHHHHH!!!! I feel like Charlie Brown when he lands on his back from missing the football kick! :-/
Sorry you are having trouble. I have always used 2-1/4" strip, fold in half (length wise), my seam allowance is 1/4". Are you near a LQS, where someone there might be able to help or perhaps take a class? Hope you find someone to help you.
