Black featherweights- Petunia, Lulu, Amanda and Annabelle
White featherweight-(not named, got it for my BD in Aug )
singer 99(I think)- never named ($5.00)
Singer 185J-Maggie($10.00)
Singer 603-Nadine(after my mom-her machine)
Longarm-Lizziegirl
Elna Jubilee-never named
Yes, I am crazy and I do love the old machines. Long story on how I ended up with all these machines...yes, I need to sell 2 of the black featherweights. When you name those old machines, you really become attached. I am giving Maggie to my sister. Two I bought for $5 & $10 and when my friend passed away, her husband gave me AnnaBelle.

I never named my machines till I got my Gammill. I had a time getting the tension set just right for me. When we finally 'made friends', I named her Lucy (after 'righty tighty, lefty loosy'). Only other machine that has a name is one of my Featherweights I call 'Agnes'. I used to have my kids yell that at me in a big crowd. They could not get my attention yelling MOM! But I would turn and look at them if they called me Agnes. My real name is Beth!

Well, I'm still waiting for my FW I got on E-Bay to come. Her name will be "Maggie May". Maggie, a nickename my Mom had and Maggie May is my favorite Rod Stewart song. Never did name my old Kenmore or my Viking, also my old theadle. Maybe I should think of names for them. I "used" to name my cars. The last one I named was my Toyota Previa...It was the Mother Ship. LOL

Have a old Kenmore sewing machine and a surger--guess I will have to name them also so that they don't feel left out...
