Product Description
TB12 is a cast aluminum body machine that is based on a former model so popular that long-time Janome fans have been begging to see it again. So here it is upgraded and updated for ThreadBanger. The TB12 has 12 actual stitches including a number of stretch stitches and multiple stitch functions including length adjustment. EZ change feet and a simple 4-step buttonhole give you endless options for creativity and a built-in one-hand thread cutter and simple reverse lever make finishing off stitching a breeze. It's a hardcore no-frills workdog--perfect for on-the-go DIY.

 Great machine for the money December 15, 2009

This machine is a real workhorse. I worked in a tailor shop for years on a Bernina and fell in love with their machines, but could never afford one. This machine is as easy to use and works as well as a Bernina and I have since found out that Janome makes some of Bernina's machines for them, specifically the Bernette.
I just got this machine this week, but I absolutely LOVE it. I have gone through multiple layers of fleece without so much as a hiccup and have also done some finer work on thin cotton material, also without a hiccup.
It is a metal arm & base with some plastic parts. Has a storage box right on the front which is handy, and is very easy to change stitches, etc.
Definitely worth the money. You won't regret purchasing this machine.

Well, the third time truly is the charm! This is the third sewing machine I've purchased since my Singer purchased back in the early seventies died on me in about the same number of years (three). The first replacement was another Singer and the second was a Brother, both proving to be huge disappointments with limited capabilities (even with all the fancy embroidery stitches), particularly when sewing thick or heavy duty fabrics, such as upholstery fabrics, but not so with my new Janome Threadbanger. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive utility machine, i.e. ordinary, everyday seam repairs, hemming of jeans with the bulky welt seams or something that will handle heavy upholstery fabrics, this one should suffice very well.
And, as usual, Amazon filled the order expeditiously and I had my new machine in three days, all the way up in Alaska. Thanks Amazon!

I had a friend who makes clothing recommend the Janome brand to me. This machine is a workhorse! Strong and sturdy. We are very happy with it!

I bought this machine because my youngest daughter, Alison, really needed a solid sewing machine to start a home business called "Baby Green" making reusable baby diapers. Years ago I sacrificed and gave my oldest daughter, Krista, my own machine that I loved (a Janome) when she went to the Savannah College of Art and Design to study fashion design. That machine really got a workout. When we discussed what machine I should buy for Alison we seriously considered all brands but, after reading the reviews, finally decided the best option was the Janome. Our decision was the right one. Alison adores her new Janome and is making diapers so fast and efficiently compared to her old machine. I'm so happy that she loves her new machine and I wish now that I had a Janome myself. We are a happy Janome family!

I am beginning seamstress. I needed a simple, reliable, brand name product from a dealer I could trust for customer support. The TB-12 arrived on time in pristine condition, and I immediately registered my warranty online. The manual was concise and easy to understand. And while it is not digital, there are more features than I will ever use. To test its versatility, I have already hemmed five pairs of pants, sewed curtains, and repaired a hole in my backpack. This was a great investment in my future!
