Be sure to double check your curved template. You should have a stitch line at a 6" radius. The cut line should be 6 1/2". How long is your straight piece? The video says about 9 1/4" long. Are you marking the stitch lines on both pieces? IF your length is right on the straight piece and the stitch is hitting the stich line on both pieces, you should come out right. Curves are tricky..... just sayin'.
Also, you can't always do it when sewing up a project but for practice, it seems easier for me to put the straight piece on bottom and work the top (curved piece) to the edge of the stright piece as you are sewing. When you do this the outside edge of the curved piece will try and bunch up on the outside radius. For the sake of practice, cut a series of V notches similar to your alignment marks on the outside edge of the curved piece around the whole seam allowance. Cut them to about 1/8" from your stitch line. See if that helps.
