I only name my machines that I've bonded with. I've others that are waiting their turn. Here's my list.
1936 Featherweight is named for my grandmother Matilda. My second 1936 Featherweight is Emma for a sewing friend who passed away near the same time I acquired her. Yes, twins, one for home and one for the RV.
1928 Singer 66 Red Eye treadle after her only owner Amelia, who was my BQF husband's mothers. BQF chose to keep her mother's treadle.
1957 Pfaff 130 is "The Tank".
Singer 99 with nice bentwood case found in Washington state for free is Martha.
Blue Singer circa 70's? inherited from my mil is Tiffany for her blue coloring.
Janome 8900 is Miss Persnickity for her talent at balking at any utility sewing. Good thing I have other choices for such things because she free motions so nicely!
