I've named some. Mainly so I can tell them apart and my sister knows which one I'm talking about. Mama's machine is Mom. The Kenmore 153.1720 is Cammie, cause she uses cams. The Kenmore 385.1788180 is Thrifty cause we got her at the thrift mall. And our main machine's (just alike) we call Ours. She got her's first in 1989 when her house burnt, and everyone loves that machine. A few months ago she saw one just like it on ebay and told my son. He bought it for me for my birthday. It's a kenmore 385.1960180. Not exactly vintage (yet) but a great machine. We seem to be aquiring a few machines now so we probably will be naming more. Friends and aquaintacies are giving me machines since I put out the call for machines to take with me when I take Mr. Whites repair course next spring. I wanted to take 5 with me and really only had 2 that I could take. My two Model 66's will take more time than we will have at the school. I have a Riccar that the needle is hitting the bobbin case and Thrifty has a cam stack, but will only do a straight stitch. (metal cam stack) and Cammie doesn't stitch her cams all the time. Those I figure probably can be done in class. I haven't really done anything with those other than clean them well and oil them.
