This is the thread I use. I just recently started hand stitching my binding to the back but couldn't find a needle I liked until I checked them out at my LQS. If the needle was long enough for me then it felt too thick. I found a pkg of 16 #9 straw needles for $3.00 and love them! The Americana thread is thicker than regular and that helps me alot in threading.
