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! :-/
Oh, my dear - the responses to your post will be very helpful to you - it took me FOREVER to figure it out, but with LOTS of practice and spending many "special hours" with Jack (the ripper), the light bulb FINALLY went on! Personally, I'm thinking of trying glue for the next one...
