I decided that I would attempt to do the faux piped binding. In case someone missed it the tutorial is here:
I cut my binding wider (mainly because mine is not a doll quilt) but so that I would have a little bit more room when I stitched. I think my strips are maybe 2.5". Ok, that turned out to be too wide but I am carrying on.
I am using my walking foot and the front looks ok but I am having issues with the back. My stitching in some places is on the back binding but in others it totally veers off. I've taken one side off twice already. The third time I went very slowly, kept everything in line and still my stitching veered off of the binding.
I don't know what to do. I have not done a total machine binding before and I didn't expect it to be perfect but I did expect that I would at least have my stitches on the binding. I've read the other posts on machine binding but they don't seem to address my specific issue. Does anyone have any advice of suggestions?
