Brava!!!! I wish you many years of great sewing!!! A sewing machine is a great friend. Your machine "naming" made me realize that I need to honor my same old machine in this way. I've had her for like nine years or so -- and she was only bought as an interim replacement because my machine with the computer brain went to sewing machine heaven. Wellllllll, all these nine years this interim machine has never failed me, has functioned well. I don't talk to her in sweet whispers the way I did my other machine, but talk to her, I do. I think she deserves a name. Gotta think of something fitting for her. Suggestions welcome.
