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 . . . .

Quilla, Jean, Trudy, and Auntie Em are my machines and Pearl is my car.

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.

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