Semi OT - Have You NAMED Your SM(s)?

Yes I do have a name for it....and it's not a word i care to repeat here, sorry..LOL! amy in CNY

I'm with you, Amy. Our new computer has a name. It is very long and includes the words usually reserved for 'some assembly required' that are necessary with swingsets and tricycles. Polly

My wonderful little Bernina 810 all-metal work horse is named Miss 'Nina.

Oh, and my car is named Miss Monte.

And I call my granddaughter Miss F.

LOL

PREZACKLY!!! amy in CNY

I will admit to whispering sweet nothings to the bantam when it is having bobbin case burps, particularly when I am trying to coax it through finishing something. It is my prefered machine for topstitching.

Usually though when I call my machines names you see sailors run screaming...

Talking about sailors:

NightMist

No, but I will :-D It sounds like a great idea.

Well, that went in a direction I wasn't exact... excuse me... prezackly expecting, but that's cool... :-)

Did I suggest that *I* had entirely too much time on my hands and nothing better to do? Sheesh!

Kate, you absolutely WIN!

Several of mine have names. Not all...

Mrs Alexandria Jones: a 1907 Jones family CS hand crank with Princess Alexandria decals...

Spinning Jenny: a 1923 Singer 66K with lotus pattern decals, so named by my bro when I bought it in 1976... 'Kate, that's as old as the Spinning Jenny!' (Not quite, but the name stuck!)

Jane: My 'Plain Jane' very low-key decals set treadle Singer 15-80. Real work horse machine, this. Plain and simple!

Lily: the Husqvarna Lily 550.

Bernie: Bernina 1150MDA serger.

'Nina: Bernina 1005 sewing machine, names by the kids I work with.

Brother John: The Brother 1034D serger, named after my bro.

FrankenSinger: Singer 99K cobbled together out of the bits of at least 3 machines after an accident with a crane, a ship, and a long journey in

Fairy: The 221 Singer Featherweight. Fairy sized.

The dress dummies all have names too!

My 1968 Bernina is called The Queen Beatrice, the others are Miriam the Minimatic, and Baby B. The big walking-foot industrial is called Hannibal. The treadles (which get used the most) never seem to get names. As to the other dozen or so.. they don't have names yet..

HH

I'm leaning toward "Nelly." Nelly the Necchi. As in "Whoa, Nelly!" (She gets away from me sometimes.)

My Kenmore is named Mr. Joe. As in Ken-More, More-than-Ken [think Ken and Barbie], more than just a pretty face =3D Gi Joe =3D Mr. Joe

Had an old Singer knockoff named Scout

The Brother I last bought from a neighbor is named Jeanne, after the lady who sold it to me - it was her mother's

Ginger in CA who also names cars [currently is Sam, previously Gulliver, George, Tony, Rosie, Luna, Walter, Casper, etc]

No names for my sewing machines, although I call them sweet nothings when they purr and call them ..... um, yeah, what Amy said .... when they misbehave. But I do have a blanket that has a name. My sister sent me this incredible fake fur cover 5 or 6 years ago. It's the expensive kind that really feels real and the backing is suede. So soft, so warm, so cozy and gorgeous. And had to have a name. Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn is put away when warm weather arrives, and just last week I asked my DH to please bring Gwendolyn in for my cold feet on the sofa. Everybody in the house knows Gwendolyn's name. Their friends know who Gwendolyn is. And everybody knows Gwendolyn is the warmest thing in the house. So on any cool evening (or afternoon or morning) it's not surprising to find one of us snuggled up in bed with Gwendolyn.

Giggle...

My sister has a sable mink coat. Naturally it is known a Syble. The hat to go with it is Sibling...
