I use a method similar to John's except that I just use a square piece of mdf, ply, or particle board and hold my piece against it as I push both along the fence. If you look at John's jig you can see which way it is feeding into the bit. Were you going the same direction? If not, that is why you were being tossed around. Having the bit completely surrounded by wood without adequate holding power can cause a bit to wander too.
