Name your sewing machine?
#41
I call my old Singer my Beauty. My others are not named. Maybe I should. This is an interesting thread. I noticed that those of you that have people names have female machines. I have a spinning wheel I call Angus. Any male machines out there?

My new Ellisimo is coming home tomorrow. It will be named Ells in honor of my favorite Red Sox player: Jacoby Ellsbury.

My first machine (with a motor) is a Viking named Lena. I have my great grandmother's treadle, which I named Victoria after her. My Viking Quilt Designer II is Slacker (because of her occasional habit of dropping stitches). My Pfaff QE 4.0 is Sweetness. And my new Featherweight is named Anne -- I am of French-Canadian descent, and Anne is the patron of Quebec, as well as the patron saint of seamstresses (it made sense to me at the time).

Bernina 830 (not the new one, this machine is over 35 years old) is named Bernie. I know not very original. The Pfaff is Jean Luc, after Star Trek's bald guy. My car is named Enterprise. My previous car was called Margaret. Hay, my seam ripper is called Jack too.
