Inspired by ThreadBanger.com, a web site that brings together people to share their DIY fashion ideas, tips and advice to help make the world more fashionable, ThreadBanger machines are the perfect tools for DIY sewists.

The TB30 is a tough machine, but it's got some frills, too. It has 30 actual stitches, 6 one-step buttonholes, a built-in One-Hand Needle Threader and Stitch Width and Length adjustments. Also, there is a Stitch Elongation feature-- that means you can elongate some stitches without losing any density.
