I share in your frustration. I sewed the binding onto a quilt yesterday and this morning all I had to do was miter the joining ends and sew them together. I had more trouble with a 3" seam than I did with the entire binding. The thread broke, the bobbin jammed and broke the needle. It took me almost an hour to complete a 5 minute job. I don't think I will sew anymore today. I don't need anymore frustration.
