    I named my Featherweight Tinkerbell but haven't thought about the other ones, although my Mega Quilter's name is mud right now. Darn thing is broken and has to go to the shop tomorrow. I will have to think about names.

    I have a 1+. I call her "Reliable" because she is great and sturdy.

    My Nolting FunQuilter, purchased 2 mths ago is Lydia, because she is purple.

    My high end Pfaff, purchased almost three years ago,...no name...strange, but nothing seems to fit! :(
    A Pfaff needs a name that starts with P. How about Phoebe?

    My black FW is Norma, her previous owner's first name. My white FW is Inez, same previous owner's middle name. I haven't named my Janome 6500, but she's my BFF!

    My embroidery machine is Judy's. I inherited her from my late MIL Judy.

    My "new" singer is a 1954 Singer 66. Her name is Raquel after my mom's sister. If I would have had a daughter, her name would have been Raquel. She's my favorite Auntie. I now have my mom's FW and so her name is "Momma's". Someday, I'll have a Singer 15-90 and her name will be Neida, one of my mom's other sisters.

    My everyday piecing machine is a Janome named Naomi who, coincidently, was the name of my mom's other sister. All the girls are covered! My aunt Naomi died the same year as my mom.

    I think is Mom would have lived to see me quilt and use her machine, she would have been happy that they had her sisters names.

    My featherweight is Opal she is exactly one month older than me October 25, 1950. October is an opal birth stone. Love it.

    I do not name my machines although I call my Brother the "little brother" to the big Esante. I do name my quilts though and have some interesting names like "pepto bismol," "fall garden folly," "seahorse," "Amish nightmare," and my favorite "Merry Friggin' Christmas."
    All of my quilts have names because as I make them, my life insists on continuing to roll along.

    Maybe you should call your high end Pfaff Ginger, you know, from Gilligan's Island? High end fluff, lol
