    I like John James also. I can do the best with size 10. Wish I could use a smaller size, but too hard on my hand. Another brand I like is the S Thomas and Sons, but they are harder to find.

    I usually use 2-1/4" but have lots of 2" strips precut, and have used them for bindings. You do need to take a slightly narrower seam to be able to use the 2" binding.
