I never thought about naming any of my new machines but when I got my 1st FW she became "AmyRose Singer" after my mother and grandmother who taught me how to sew. And then I got a white FW and she became "CassieRose Singer" after my granddaughter that I was teaching to quilt when she arrived in the mail. I wonder if the 2 Bernina's and the Sashiko feel left out? LOL

I have "Nina" my Bernina (isnt that original, duh) and I have TES for my vintage 1919 Singer (because the company I work for as an independant contractor is TES) and then I just got Exie (becuase she came from Exeter, ME) and I think that is probably more machines than one body needs...but then again........... :)

I named my Pfaff, Pfreda, just because.
I named my Viking Rose, Rosie. Really original huh?
I still have a 1972 Kenmore, and a Babylock serger that don't have names, but need work.
I have a 1930's Singer treadle without a name. :)
