https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32951682108.html The 26mm size as I use 1" tape, which works well enough. There's some skill to it but I'm starting to get the hang of it, keeping my index finger against the edge of the fabric to push the binding in place and keep everything aligned helps a lot. If only I could find the funds for / convince my partner of the decorative value of a cylinder arm sewing machine with binding attachment...

Binder update: I wasn't sold on the swing away binder, it still got in the way so I found myself removing it when not in use, meaning the swinging mechanism only made it harder to adjust and keep in place. And it offered little clearance in tight corners etc. So I've bought a right angle binder and it's great, the vertical clearance isn't quite as good so I can't bind over zippers, but I don't see that being a huge problem. It feeds nicely and it's clearance makes it easier to keep everything aligned.
