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" ?

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.

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
