My first Brother was a Wal-mart cheapie, but he's a power horse and has taken anything I've thrown at him, so he is Big Bubba. I also have Sassy Sally the Sphinx treadle, and Fanny Featherweight. The Bernette I paid the big bucks for started out and Bernice, but she was a lemon and is now out in the shed with the name B**ch! LOL! I also have Clara the Clone 15 and my newer, fancier Brother SC9500 is named Brittany.
