I had a long, reply and kept getting a message that it was too short, guess I paused too long when replying and the message got broken up. What it all boils down to is that I do not like cutesy. All my machines came to me with names and they told me they wanted to keep them.

Really, the only one (hey when did I accumulate 3 machines?!) that touches my heart enough to make me want to name her is my sweet Singer 301. It's the very model my grandmother taught my sister and I to sew on (being so simple and straight forward!), and so her name is my grandmother's - Boszi, a Hungarian 'short' name for Elizabeth...pronounced Berzhee minus the R. You might have to hear it first, lol.

Because I have four Singers, if I asked my husband to bring me something next to the "Singer", he would be walking in circles for an hour! But if I tell him it is next to "Gunther" , he knows exactly which one I mean!

When I bought my mid-arm, I named it Shirley, after my mom, who taught me how to sew. The frame is Laverne. When I upgraded to a longarm, I renamed it Laverne & Shirley-turbocharged! My cousin even made me a vinyl decal to put on her
