Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I attended a quilt guild workshop last week and referred to my sewing machine by name - her name is Lovely - and the instructor seemed really surprised and it spurred a conversation in the class. Do you name your sewing machine? Do you have a name for other things? Your car? Just wondering if I've gone a little over the edge. . . . BTW, my cars' name is Tux, short for Tuxedo . . . .

I don't name any of my machines, but, looks like lots do!!
To name or not to name?
Alyce
Quilla, Jean, Trudy, and Auntie Em are my machines and Pearl is my car.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!
I do....my Bernina is Bernini(after the artist), my treadle is Old Clunky because she makes quite a bit of noise when I sew on her.
I'm not into giving names to tools and inanimate objects. I use names for animals and people. Hmm, should I pull out all my scissors and start naming them? Will they respond when I call? Will I get their names mixed up and cause hurt feelings?
NOPE, I refer to it as my Bernina which is the company that manufactured it.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

Mine doesn't have a name but I have been known to call it something (not nice) from time to time.
