I like that name... Grace. Since she is so ornate and complicated. I considered Marilyn - or perhaps Norma Jean?

I have an adorable Model 24 too. She seems more like a Grace.

And my New Home - Gloria (after my mom who was upset that I didn't name my daughter after her).

Willie G seems too masculine for this beauty. But good thought - keep it in the manufacturer's name family. :-)

I read that these machine were mostly used by Milliners..perhaps MILLIE would be good! OR Hattie!

What a beauty. How did you find her? Did you know the previous owners? You are indeed lucky. Enjoy your new machine.
