John, Forgive me if I am misunderstanding your question, but if all you mean is the wire is starting to touch itself at the inner part of the toroid core, don't worry. It is insulated, and it will not matter. Just try as much as possible to have the turns evenly spaced, and covering whatever total percentage of the core as is specified in your instructions. Usually this is about 2/3 to 3/4 or the entire core's diameter.
I hope I am of some help.

I get to 22 turns and the internal parts of coiled wire touch.. I.e., no room to make more turns. What am I doing wrong? Am I using right core, wire? Thanks!
