I don't intentionally name my machines. But if I say I'll sew in the dining room my dogs go and lie down by a machine in there. Change name of room and they go there. I do call them unrepeatable names in my head sometimes.

My machine does not have a name. I've never named my vehicles either. My brother named his car years ago....& I'm talking "YEARS AGO"...
He named it The Green Goose because it was green & he was always honking the horn at friends. Back then you heard more horns honking at friends than as alerts. There was no road rage in the late 50's.

No, mine are called: The VX560, The PC420, The Featherweight and The PQ1500s when I refer to them. I hope they don't take it personally....

I have a name for all of my vintage machines but not the computerized one's. Especially if the person who owned it previously is someone that I knew, or if the date of manufacture has special significance, it's kind of a tribute to them.

I have "Big momma" my janome 9500, Silvie my Singer 15, Matilda another Singer , then there are the twins Opal and Esther the 301's. Mr T the treadle, and a few others. We have names for our vehicles too, We appreciate it that have served us and keep serving us and find value in naming them I guess.
