I have tried but it just does't seem to stick.

Same here.

I have named my latest machine, but I never named any of my machines before that. My new(ish) Janome's name is Gracey Lou Freebush, after Sandra Bullock's pageant character in Miss Congeniality.

Not my SM but all my cars/trucks..Betsy 1 and 2, Junie B and currently Lucille.. Next truck if I ever find one I can afford will be Maggie May.

I have a farm and in my younger years raised cows, horses, pigs and chickens. I was told never to name the animals or you could never eat them. But my children, the little animal tenders that they were, named them. One was "Dotty", the kids favorite pig. I worried and worried, but the day our slaughter pigs came back from the butcher, as we were hauling the packages to the freezer, My 10 year old daughter asked if we could cook some sausage. Sure, so we cooked and hauled and I continued to worry, until I heard a little voice from the kitchen, " Mmm, Mmmm, Dotty you sure taste good". I don't pay a lot of attention to rules anymore. That is why I quilt. LOL

To me it seems a silly waste of brain cells to name inanimate objects. I can barely keep all my friends' names straight, and their husbands, kids, grandkids, etc. Plenty of names to remember already.

I have 3 Singer Featherweights named Betty, Bubbles and Maud. I have another old Singer named Robin, but I don't have names for my newer machines. I guess they don't have enough personality for names. ;-)

That is a lot of undoing and then very tricky resewing. I like the quilt as it is I think the colours match fine on my iPad.
