I'm trying to think of a name for mine and I'm thinking about naming her "Florance Ida Katherine" after my mother. And does anyone refer to their sewing machine as a "he" ? :oops: |
My main machine is named Aurelia,after my great grandmother who was an excellent seamstress and quilter.I in herited her genes ,I think,as no one else in my family can even sew on a button.My oldest daughter has "The Needle" that she keeps around as she has three boys and must deal with splinters.It has never passed through a piece of fabric or a button.

I have named only my FW "Lizzie"
|
Never named my machines until I purchased my Bernina Series 8 830 machine. I call her Bertha or Big Bertha because of the size.
mltqilt |
My Bernina is "Bernie"
My Janome is "Jenny" My Featherweight is "Flossie" My Gammills are "Gammie and Gabbie" Two Singers are "Sylvia and Sylvester" (just gave these away) I know....I'm not as creative with these names. I started naming them when I heard a news report that said people who name their cars take better care of them. Figured it would apply to the sewing machines, too. Now....to name the rest.....LOL |
The only one I've named is my Singer 66 and it's Lucille - after my granny who was my sewing mentor and other mother.
|
I named my treadle Debie due to her owner previous owner whos passed on and my bff is debbie also.
|
Wow - some creative names! i just named my recent purchase Blue. It is a Sapphire and, well, sapphires are blue.
|
My Janome is Janette, for obvious reasons; and my fw is Velma Genevive (Genny) after my grandmother who was a quilter and my inspiration.
|
My new Designer Diamond has no name as of yet but the Big Bopper greets me when she turns on.
My sapphire is Saffy Treadle is Myrtle(after my grandmother) The featherwieght needs named too come to think...gee I better get busy thinking up names.... |
