My Husqvarna Viking SE was named yaers ago by one of my students. When I bought her, my student saw her and started calling her "ESSIE" and it stuck. The Featherweight that I learned to sew on when I was about 10, which I got from my mom when she passed away is called "BABY". My little Janome Excel,23L, which has always been so faithful and my little workhorse I refer to as "TOOTIE". My graet grandmother's treadle is "GRANNY" and my Husqvarna Huskylock 936 serger is just called "936". Sort of like naming our pets, huh!
