First, bravo for trying it, and actually making a band! :)

Getting the S & Z threading backward would make the band come out upside down, and 
that's an extremely common problem. I still do it sometimes.

If you aren't absolutely positive about the S & Z thing, there's a longer explanation 
at

and some easy beginner patterns at

The other possibility is that you threaded the ABCD holes in the opposite order that I 
use. There's no real consistency on that among either authors or card manufacturers 
(although since you made your own, that shouldn't be a problem.)

In my world,
A is the top hole closer to you
D is the top hole farther from you

so looked at from the right

A D
B C

Going around the other way would give you an upside-down band too.

Hope that helps!

In mostly-unrelated news, Google seems to have completely lost my web page!
Once upon a time I was in the top 3 hits for "tablet weaving", now searching even for 
"Phiala's String Page" finds only pages with links to me, and won't return my page at 
all! How very frustrating! A search does find the old page, which sends people to the 
new page, but still... Subject searches don't find it anymore.
