Default Puckers in binding

I use a singer 201 to put binding on my quilts. My problem is that the binding puckers at the very end of sewing it to the quilt. I cut the binding strips 2 1/2 inches and I know you are supposed to cut the end of the overlapping binding strip the same width as the binding but because I always have puckers I cut the overlapping piece 2 1/4 inch but still I have puckers. I don't know if the pressure is set right. I have the pressure screwed down pretty far but if I raise it a little then the material won't feed through. Also as I am sewing the binding on the quilt the walking foot doesn't seem to feed it through as I always have a wrinkle or two as I am sewing the binding on. I am looking for answers to these problems if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.
