Are you bringing the binding over to the front or back? The quilt shop here sews theirs on the back and brings it to the front to sew on. Comes out perfect every time. Mine doesn't yet, but I'm improving. I can't imagine sewing the traditional method where the binding goes to the back (unless hand sewing). I think my stitches would be all over the place. I truly hate binding, and when possible, just make the back larger and fold it to the front. But understand that isn't considered acceptable by the quilting police.
