My Bernina 440 is my "Baby". My first FW is "Spike" because the first time I saw him, I thought "This is one tough guy." My second FW, a white, is "Mz. Blanche" because she lived most of her life in Mississippi, so is a beautiful Southern lady. I haven't named my third FW, a 1951 Centennial, but am leaning toward "Penny" -- a cent, get it? My fourth is a tan, and I call her "CoCo". My fifth, a 1950 model, will be painted purple, and will probably be named "Pansy", "Lilac" or "Iris", depending on what shade of purple I can have. The sixth and latest FW doesn't have a name yet, but her serial number was released on October 8, 1952, and my birthday is December 5, 1952, so it will be something very personal to me. I also have a treadle that has no name.
