Toooooo funny, now that had me ROTFLMAO
Toooooo funny, now that had me ROTFLMAO
DH named my Janome VEST, short for 'very expensive stipple thing'. I also call her Ferrari sometimes. The smaller Brother machine is just called little brother. The poor serger doesn't have a name yet.
My Necchi never had a name. She is 30+ years old. My two oldest sons were 4 & 2 at the time and were fascinated with her. I was busy with their newborn brother when they placed Smurf puffy stickers on her. They were so proud! The stickers are still there with the exception on Smurffette who fell off years ago. I think of her as The Smurf Machine although the name was never official. My Brother SE400 named herself. I pulled her out of the box and I swear she said, "Hi! I'm Anna Sophia! Wanna play"?? It was love at first sight and she is always happy to give me great stitches. My Juki was different. She wouldn't tell me her name until I proved myself worthy. Finally after two weeks of daily sewing, she stopped in mid-stitch and said very quietly, "My name is Ellie Bleu. Now lets get back to work." Every time I think of adding a fancy, expensive machine to our family, I realize all my needs are met and another is not necessary.

If a woman's work is never done, why start?
Procrastinate! It frees up time to quilt!
Quilters come with strings attached

I've never named any of my machines. They are just the new Pfaff, old Pfaff, the white in the closet, old serger, new serger.
Iris Girl = April = fabric, Fabric FABRIC!!

Names? Its a sewing machine, not a pet.
You will never be an artist while begging approval from others

My Baby Lock is called: My Sewing Machine. My Bernina, which I won, is called: My New Sewing Machine. Is there a prize for the least original? I think it is a hoot that so many of you name your machines. I just never thought of doing so. But, maybe, someday I will get inspired and give them names.
No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.
