My first featherweight, a 1936, is named Matilda for my grandmother. My second one, another 1936, is Emma after a dear elderly sewing friend who passed shortly before I bought her. My 1923 treadle is named after my BQFF's husband's mother Amelia, her first and only other owner. I feel like I was adopted when I inherited her. I love to treadle! I've never felt a need to name newer machines (and I have quite a few of those
).
