I usually label all my supplies for that same reason, especially rulers. I have never labeled my machine but I did for some reason, label the foot pedal (in marker on the bottom). I am sure glad I did because I did leave it on a quilting retreat but they easily identified who it belonged to and mailed it to me.

I do not mark my machine, there is no mistaking it. Although I use to mark my rulers, I seldom do that anymore. I have never had any issues. Most people only want to use my iron for a quick press because I set it up on my work table every time I sew.
I did have an issue with magazines, but now I keep them in my bag.

I write on my machines-all of them. Name, address, phone number and any infomation that I keep needing to access like the order in which my computerized serger needs to be threaded.
My attitude is that these are my machines and I keep everything that I love until it absolutely dies. My children tell me I am boring. And they continue with the "fact" and they hate it, that it is genetic and they are boring too.
Write away, my dear! 🗽

I'm going to play "devils advocate" for a moment. If you put an address label on items, it can easily be removed. Marking your items with a permanent marker is a better solution. I've never had a problem but there's always a first time, particularly with a sewing machine where they are all the same type.

I read somewhere (maybe here on the Board) that at one retreat while they were at lunch someone came in and took their bobbin cases. It was suggested that when you leave your machine you take the bobbin case - just in case.
