Blindstitching the lining hem

I am on my last step of this coat - yeah! But totally flummoxed - boo. The directions (step 3 on page 9) call for blindstitching the fold at the hem of the lining to the jacket at the topstitching. I understand that the lining has some extra ease built in which causes it to hang down to the bottom of the jacket but that I'm attaching it about 1" from the bottom. The part I am confused about is that at the side edge of the lining it is also lining up with the bottom edge of the jacket and I can't figure out how to make it lay nicely which attaching it at the topstitching. I am wondering if I attached it incorrectly somewhere but I'm not going back to fix that now (and I didn't notice anything else not lining up properly when sewing the lining and outside together).


I hope I'm explaining myself clearly enough. Does anyone have any input?


TIA!
