Do you name your sewing machine?
 

I attended a quilt guild workshop last week and referred to my sewing machine by name - her name is Lovely - and the instructor seemed really surprised and it spurred a conversation in the class. Do you name your sewing machine? Do you have a name for other things? Your car? Just wondering if I've gone a little over the edge. . . . BTW, my cars' name is Tux, short for Tuxedo . . . .

I don't name any of my machines, but, looks like lots do!!

Quilla, Jean, Trudy, and Auntie Em are my machines and Pearl is my car.

I'm not into giving names to tools and inanimate objects. I use names for animals and people. Hmm, should I pull out all my scissors and start naming them? Will they respond when I call? Will I get their names mixed up and cause hurt feelings?

NOPE, I refer to it as my Bernina which is the company that manufactured it.

yep, a few of my machines have names.
Singer 201-2, Elizabeth
Brother FZ2 Pacesetter, Richard
Universal 15 clone, Orphan Annie
Singer FW, Margaret
Brother and Morse twin 15 clones, Thing 1 and Thing 2
my Grands call my embroidery machines Grammas Magic Machines.

Cari

well I only have one (at least for now) and I do call mine "Momma" don't know what... I just do :)

Husqvarna 895Q = Sweet Sapphire

1965 Elna Supermatic SU = Old Faithful

Today I do all my quilt sewing on Sweet Sapphire but my Swiss made, all metal Old Faithful is there for heavy duty sewing I don't want near my computerized machine.

Mine doesn't have a name but I have been known to call it something (not nice) from time to time.
