Industry News Janome America & ThreadBanger.com unveil new machines on Thread Heads
“There is no denying that the DIY trend is sweeping the nation,” said Jiro Hagiwara, president and CEO of Janome America Inc. “From how-to videos, forums and blogs, to newsletters and contests, our partnership with ThreadBanger.com has allowed us to further help crafters create and find their own style. It was only natural for us to take the next step in developing ThreadBanger branded machines, making it easier to recycle and recreate old garments into fresh new fashions.” Bringing the high quality that consumers have to come know and trust from the Janome brand, the TB12 and TB30 incorporate computerized precision and high tech features that enable sewists to create every project with a professional finish. In addition to multiple stitch functions and amazing accessories, these machines also have a portable design that is perfect for on-the-go DIY projects. With each American disposing of approximately 35 pounds of old clothing and textiles annually, Janome and ThreadBanger recognize that do-it-yourself fashion opportunities can be found everywhere. Blending creative inspiration and conservation, the Janome TB12 and TB30 only use 4 watts as opposed to the typical compact fluorescent lights consuming about 5-30 watts. ThreadBanger is a network for people who love to DIY, recreate, refashion and craft. The network brings together people who can share their ideas, tips and advice with others and help make the world more fashionable – ThreadBanger style!
