I'm glad the 1/2" gap worked!
After thinking about it, I realized depth of batting would have nothing to do with the issue. It may be that the demo used binding strips cut on the straight-of-grain while you may have cuts yours (as I cut mine) on the cross-grain. Cross-grain strips have a little more stretch to them than straight-of-grain.

I watched a YouTube video yesterday that was similar to this method without using a special ruler. I was going to try it the next time I was binding:

This ruler has perfect lines to cut for the diagonal and no twisting of the binding ends. I have tried very video and demo of how to join binding. I like this way the best, so far.
