Well, I have named my machines too!
I have a 1957 Singer that I got at an auction many years ago for $20.00 including the cabinet. Her name is Mabel.
Got a Singer I call Suzie
Got a Simplicity that I named Maria (many years before my GD Maria was born) now Maria says that is 'her' machine.
Another old Singer that I named 'ole girl'
Now IF & when I can ever get to learning on my serger.. I will name her. Lonesome sounds like a good name...LOL
Never owned a Brother! Singers are my 1st loves!
