this is what I learned in the binding class I took years ago... one of the best 3 hours I ever spent!! We learned how to stitch the ends to make it fit perfectly and even this beginner quilter can make the binding work every time!!
My advice would be to find someone to "tutor" you or find a class?
My problem is I know how to do the binding, but I don't know if I could explain that fitting part very well...
Hang in there!!
