Janome Threadbanger TB30 Computerized Sewing Machine

ThreadBanger.com is a web site where people share their Do-It-Yourself fashion ideas, tips and advice to help make the world more fashionable. Janome's ThreadBanger machines are the perfect tools for DIY sewists.

The TB30 is just as tough as the TB12, but a bit fancier. It has 30 stitches, 6 one-step buttonholes, a built-in One-Hand Needle Threader, and adjustments for Stitch Width and Length. There is also a Stitch Elongation feature, so you can elongate some stitches without losing any density.

Another cool feature is the Direct Stitch Selection Buttons. Push the button once, and the green light shows the left stitch pictured on the button is selected. Hit the button again and an orange light indicates the right stitch on the button is selected. The letter on each button advises you what foot to use. Such a pal!

There are three pressure adjustment levels to handle a greater variety of fabrics plus a Needle Up/Down Button. Select whether the needle stays down in the fabric when you stop (for easy corner turning) or comes up out of the fabric.

You can sew without the foot control by using the Start/Stop Button! AND, if you press it and hold it down, it will sew very slowly, so you can be as exact as you want.
