I feel your pain. I used to do that regularly. Not anymore. I found a utube video with a technique to join the ends of bindings on the bias. Totally different technique from the one that I had been using and just wasn’t working for me. Sharon Schamber Perfect Binding. It’s a lengthy video, at 28 minutes, but I like her techniques.

I WAS joining them on the bias. Not sure if it's the same technique you are referring to, but it's putting the ends together at right angles to each other and sewing diagonally from corner to corner, then cutting off the two unneeded triangles. If you aren't careful which way you put the ends together you get a twist in one end.

All of us have ripped a perfect seam and some of us have ripped an imperfect seam, sewed it again the same way and had to rip again. It's time to take a break when you have to rip the same seam twice.
