I don't mind doing binding at all but I am still trying to get the "join the ends with a diagional seam" thing right. I do the stitch to the front and hand sew the back. Takes longer but I like the look better , I just can't seem to get the machine stitched one right.
Just take a deep breath , grab a seam ripper , a glass of wine, and sit down in front of the tv or in my case the computer watch a movie and rip away. :-)
