Naming a sewing machine
 
I took a class a couple of weeks ago and one of the other ladies mentioned that she and her friends always have a party when someone gets a new machine and it officially gets a name. Have you named your sewing machine? I affectionately call my 6600p my workhorse, but never really thought of giving it a name.

Never even thought about naming a machine, wouldn't hurt but why unless you have a lot of machines and need to keep them straight.

I call my Bernina Aurora 440 QE "my sewing machine!" That is opposed to my Bernina Serger which I call "my serger!" And if I ever get a long arm, it will be called "my long arm!"
Sorry, I'm not very creative....;(

I have a janome magnolia that I call Margie. My vacuum is Betty my shampooer is Gertie and my car is Bertha.

Oh My. Yes... My longarm is" Lizzy Lou" when she is being a good girl and Ester when she is bad. ( remember the movie "Orphan"?) That's where Ester comes in. lol My car is " Murdock".

don't personally name my inanimate objects. don't mind that others do. my friend's expensive, fancy machine is jean luc (with an accent, if you please). others in our group have also named their machines.

have fun with it.

The only machine I have named is my featherweight. She is Sophie (or should that be Sewfie?). Haven't come up with names for any of the rest.
My first car was "Fuzzy Jane", named by my roommate, to help me remember my license plate # which was FZJ 45.

Same here. I have 2 Brother machines, a PQ1500S (big) and a SE270D (little) so I call them Big Brother and Little Brother. That's about as close as I get.

I just pat my Janome and tell her I love her so much, lol.

A few years back I told my kids I wanted to be buried with my Janome and fabric. Pretty sure that's not gonna happen but the looks on their faces was priceless!
