Sewing Machines, Best Web picks of 2007, Thread Heads

Very useful info.  Thanks for posting this.  You can get some of the Singer sewing machines featured here at www.SewSpecialFabrics.com at the best prices you'll find anywhere online.

Yay!  My new machine is up and running!  Thanks!

fabulous website. 

like your show, do you have any diy on on how to make your on vendor displays for craft fair from tent to tables and beyond??

This looks like fun!

Threadbanger is probably the only thing that keeps me sane nowadays. ever since i moved to some random small town in michigan from new york city its been sucky but i wake up in the morning everyday excited to go on threadbanger watch videos and get inspired. I dont really post comments ever but its 2008 so its time to change.
It kills me to know that my parents made me move to michigan when you guys are now in brooklyn! 
My math teacher and i are planning on starting a sewing club in our highschool so i told her about your website. =] You guys seriously dont know how much of an amazing impact you have on the world and on me. 
It saddens me that im not in new york anymore...i mean i was born in brooklyn and spent my whole life there...and now all i have is my memories and threadbanger to keep me from living in a strait jacket.

sorry for the long post...but i had to tell you guys. =]

CRAP! I broke another needle! I screwed up the bobbin, and I killed my project... onto the next project! lol, *me trying to stay positive* XD

Good Luck Hope to hear more from you this coming year!

Thats it, I failed sewing! The first darn time I tried, I broke the darn needle! Frick! So now my project is on a hold, and I feele like a loser. I know I'm not going to give up, but at this moment I feel like dog poo.... FRICK!

I am in the market for a new sewing machine. I really like singer but have never heard of this brand. Help out. What do you think is the best? I do hate Brother ones, I have had 2 now didnt like them. It just needs to be with in my budget too...

Wow...I think it's easier to build a Plutonium Powered Time-Machine than threading a Sewing Machine...that was mind numbing. And now we can TEXT you!?!? Oh goodness how far you've all come in a year, good stuff?
Say it might be nice to get a little tour of the NEW Threadbanger studio/office since we saw your old digs in Florida how bout it?   -Steve C

OK..I really need some more help with this sawing thing.. Or maybe just a new machine!
I finally got my moms old sewing machine out fro some DIY fun..And she doesnt remember at all how to do it.. and neither does my grandma..
After about and hour..and soem help from this video..I finallu threaded the darn thing.. and I was all set..had my material and ready to sew..pushed on the peddle...And it made this wierd noise..and the needle just moved for a second..and barley moved..i tested it over and over again..same thing..I cehcked everything..and I cant figure out whats wrong!!
Maybe its cuz this machine is old(is was my grandmas even..and she enver used it...)

But I cant figure out whats wrong..and its making me sad :(


I might have to try and send in a video to win that new machine?!

great tips!

oh....I love you! hehe I found you via Domestic Chicky. My friend from Blessed Nest is in Brooklyn,NY too!Heather is the creative one and I am a wanna be. I have this sewing machine. Heather bought it for me. This is the best next to having my friend Heather  give me personal assistance! You are the best!

Once my mom  sewed one of her fingers...  the  needle was crossing her nail and her finger...  she told me her stepdaughter was so impressed that she puke...  

Anyhow, that event make me feel stress whenever I use the SewingMachine.. but at this time I think how stupid it could be to get my finger sewn... 
my mom's not as brilliant as I used to think!!  

You guys are wonderful: hysterical, fun, and talented.  Keep us proud in 2008!

I think a great idea for a show would be, how to make your own coat of arms, and make it into a patch! I would love to learn how. People who go to private schools, that are forced to wear uniforms, and have a crest of something they hate, they would be able to wear one that they love! I would love it pieces! 

\(#'-')/Yay \('-'#)/

I have a bunch of sweet ideas. I just NEED a sewing machine!

Your episode on sewing machines rocked! The last machine I used was 40+ years old & I had no idea how they've simplified things. Thanks for the heads up!

Holy Cow!!! This Sewing Machine How-to could not have come at a better time for me! I am buying my first EVER sewing machine today and was worried about what I was going to do once I got it home (other than scratching my head for a while.) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

you forgot the disclaimer about sewing machines tendencies to get posessed by the devil...lol J/K Don't you newbies sweat it.  Machines just need a little love, maitenance and holy water.  

 This was my email... I asked for sewing machine basics!  Geeya, you guys kick ass.  Both threads go UNDER the presser foot... I had no idea... maybe that's why I was having so much trouble earlier today??

i love you guys!
thank you for your newest video! i just got a sewing machine for christmas so this really helped!

OMG.

As always I love your episodes, because of watching one of your episodes a while back on youtube.. and LOVING it. Ive been watching  your shows all the time. You guys inspired me to try DIY and buy DIY XD

And I just now found my mothers old sewing machine and was like..I have no idea.

Came on here for some updates and look what I found XD

But yea you guys are awesome.

How about some more accsesorie stuff? like making braceletes..necklaces..even ring! I love accesories..especially DIY ones,

ALSO..where is Andrew Hanson ? I loved his hardcore styles.

Thank you so much! I am a beginner sewer, actually just bought a machine last week! I cannot wait to start making my own stuff and actually just took the pledge to buy handmade. Thanks threadbanger!

Oooohhh...I need that new sewing machine: the one I have now is a peice of  crap from Mal-Wart - whoops, I mean Wal-Mart. XD

@British Gal: Mod Podge is just water-based glue. You can find it in just about any craftstore.

i was gonna recommend this site to a kid i know who wants to learn to sew but the bad language at the end put the kibosh on that.  Otherwise, I really like the show

My comments/prayers have been answered!!! Yay!! I'm so gonna rock this contest!!LOLOL. So excited!!

Okay, let me say first off that i love you show more than anything...ANYWAYS..Track is starting soon and if you have ever seen running shows you know they are hideous..anndd my foot is an 11. They look terrible and white...and they clash with my skin..Maybe you can show me or give me ideas like i could spray paint them or something. PLEASE I really need your help here....


keep rock my world:)

That kinda helps.Do you know how to thread old school sewing machines?

Cool tutorial Glass Onion! As for the show awesome as always. I've heard Janome is a good brand for sewing machines. What I found interesting was that I seem to have the exact same sewing machine. At least it was pretty well identical except it's a Kenmore... which is the Sears brand. Think possibly Janome and Kenmore are made by the same people?

www.craftster.org
not craftser.com
i've made that mistake many times...
not to worry

i'm so getting my little sis to watch this one. she's just started sewing on a machine!

i love you 
i wish is was in the us so i could do

What sensational timing! I'm getting my first *ever* sewing machine on Sunday and have no idea where to start. This video is going to be so helpful, thanks Rob and Corinne!!!

*potters off to stick on LJ *

I recently new to Thread Banger and enjoy the wealth of information.  I am looking forward to seeing more episodes.  Great ideas about the video podcasts.  Thanks a lot.

I'm really excited for this giveaway. I'm in desperate need of one and I always watch these videos but I never go and try to do things because I don't have a sewing machine! 

Happy New Year! :D

Thanks for thr tut on sewing machines. I just got a new one for x-mas and had to read, re-read and then read again the instructions. But now I have that nifty tutorial!! YAY!!!!

I wish I learned this a day earlier, I just made a scoodie and ninja arm warmers, first time sewing.  but thats beside the point.  I looked on the blog and I couldn't find the contest for the sewing machine.  where is it threadheads?

Anyways good episode Corinne and Rob keep up the amazing work

YES!!!!!! I AM FEATURED! THATS MY TUTORIAL! 

i can't believe it.... wow... thanks rob and corinne!
