I, too, don't name my sewing machines--I have enough trouble remembering ANY names anymore--kids, grandkids, friends, neighbors; I blame it on my medicine. It just never occurred to me to name my machines, and now I have too many to even give that a thought. I am into giving away or selling off as I am running out of room, for machines and fabric. I recently sponsored a quilting class, and provided everything to the students--machine, fabric, pattern, thread; and if you can believe it, had only one taker/student. But we had a wonderful time. I will be trying that again in the fall.
