I have severe hearing loss and I am sure I have mispronounced many words, especially some brand names.
Can someone give me the phonetic pronunciation for the following words?

Pfaff
Kaffe Fassettt
Bernina
Janome

SillySusan

Faff
?
Burnena
Janom

I hope I got these right. Don't worry about mispronouncing them. Many people with good hearing get them wrong also, including me!

Kaffe & Brandon were here in Richmond last year (and will be here again next month!) and Brandon Malby addressed the difficulty in pronouncing Kaffe's name so he said just think of Kaffe Fasset as a "Safe Asset" and you'll always remember how to say it

I saw a video by Kaffe Fassett himself. He states his name rhymes with Safe Assett.

I pronounced Bernina as Ber/nine/ah.
For Pfaff, I used Paff.
For Kaffe, I had his last name right but pronounced his first name as 'cafe', like the restaurant. lol.
Janome, I had Jah/no/me.

Even here we have several pronounciations. Kaffe Fassett I also heard rhymes with "safe asset"

Pfaff the p is silent - Faff rhymes with staff
Bernina - Bur-nee-nah
Janome I have always pronounced Jay-no-me but I could be wrong.

I keep wanting to say Kaffe'. always sounds better to my brain. but then, i'll never meet him.
I just want people to get advice and advise right. that is mainly spelling. advice, just think ICE. then you will use the right one.

I am utterly confused now. LOL

I thought it was Ber-neen-a but I don't think any of this really matters!

Oops!! It should be Burneena
And Janomi



I hope I got these right now. But I still think we shouldn't worry about mispronouncing them. We should just enjoy quilting on them!
