I love to embroider,i also love to make patchwork quilts,my machine does both embroidery and sewing,,i can only do one at the time. Today i bought a restored sewing machine, it is fifteen years old,only a teenager. Needs to have a name,maybee i will call it fred to go with my other machine named Bella. Do the rest of the cute fafily name their machines? Oh i also have a plant in my garden that i call Grandmar. hehehe.

That's why I bought a separate sewing machine and Embroidery only machine, love the idea of doing 2 things at once. Mine only have names when they're being bad, quite unprintable names, hee hee hee. But I do have a lawn tractor named Rudie...Hugs, Marji

I thought Bella was Denny's Girlfriend???? LOL!!!
No I draw the line at naming my cars but since I forgot what I named the last one I now just call it my Sports car.... which is such a misnomer 'cause it's only a hatchback!!! :-}
hugs n roses, M

my machine does not have a name, but it depends of his/hers behaviour what I say to it. My machine does have a heart you know, when I leave it alone during embroidery it starts to tease me !!!!he or her( what should it be?) wants me to stay nearby, so in that case I don't say sweet names !!LOL

Of course, I call them my babies - THE baby is my husqvarna Designer 1 and 'the new baby' is my Husqvarna serger - then there is 'The Bitch' which is what I call my little girl kitty when she trys to help me to much. (she's the one whose pix I posted a while back) Then of couse I also call my sewing machine THAT SOB when the need arises -keeping in mind it's NEVER my fault when something goes wrong! (hahahahahaha)

I call my embroidery machine and my sewing machine
"The Brothers" they are by Brother.. :)

Flowers and hugs to all the cuties that have answered my post,its great to have a light hearted laugh.

I call my machines names when they act up... does that count? *

Hmm, me too!!!

I don't name my machines, but I have an older Brother sewing machine, a Brother embroidery/sewing machine, and my newest embroidery only machine. I'm considering purchasing a serger. Problem is....I barely have the room to set up ONE machine, much less several of them.

My gosh,maybee you could call them older brother...little brother and baby brother LOL

I have 3 Husqvarna sewing machines. One is the old original sewing machine that I've had since I was 25!! (a long time ago) not embroidery and the other 2 well I have the newest Designer 1 Limited Edition and the other Husqvarna Quilter I gave (mind you gave) to my younger daughter Amy. I also gave her an overlocker as I got a new one when I bought the Designer 1. I also have the sewing machine set up in the computer room. Well it is actually our back room but there is a billiard table in here too and I use that as my cutting table! It has a big cover over it so it keeps it in good condition.

With regards to names mine is Desi (short for designer) mind you I have two weeping Grevilleas out in the front garden called George and Grace!!!! LOL aren't we a weird mob?

Love and blessings Chris

Wow, you use your billiard table for your cutting table!! We have a snooker table which is much bigger and if I even tried to use it s a cutting table my husband would kill me...lol..Maybe that`s why he built me a new sewing room with my own cutting table.....lol

Thankyou for sharing this,it makes us more of a family,love the billiard sewing top table,must make pinning a quilt together less stressful on your back. Hopefully one day we have a chance to get together for a cupa.

OH you are funny - I have an Elegante - I do ocassionally refer to it as Ellie - but I never thought that it was her name - but it must be. I have my PC in my embroidery room - I have a couple machines - that I really don't use and don't have set up - I have an Elna, Escante, and my Mother's Husgvarna & her serger - that I haven't had the heart to use yet.

I call my car Mum,when my mum passed away it was very hard,Mum was killed in a road crash on the ist day of spring,she was 80. It took a couple of years befor i ....sorry i wont go on. Anyway Mum always said you need a good car and a sewing machine,so now when i drive my car and use Bella i think kind and loveing thoughts of my Mum.

No I have never named my Machines. But I treat them like babies (I look after them all and tuck them in when not in use) I have 4 Machines in my sewing room so I can do a few projects at a time and I have my own Pc in my sewing room, so I can log onto Cute when I have the embroidery Machine doing her own thing.

Hugs Yvonne

You never know what those naughty little machines get up to at night when the lights are out!!! Love and blessings Chris (they may have some Babylocks! hahaha)

Gosh fumble fingers today should read.... Do the rest of the cute family name their machines?

You are funny....Mine don`t have names but it`s a good idea!! I can sew on my normal machine while embroidering or use my overlocker at the same time..<br />Well I hope FRED behaves himself....

DH bought me an overlocker for my birthday,i have only worked out the basics.maybe i should take a class.hugs and flowers for you.

Uhh, Michele, you actually have a "normal" machine? Mine are all BOKERS! They are "paranoid" when I leave them, the embroidery machine is "schizophrenic", sometimes nice, sometimes naughty, and the serger (overlocker) is a "homicidal maniac", cause that foot pedal has 2 speeds, off and 60mph! Hee hee hee Marji

I haven't ever named my machines...I have had separate sewing from embroidery...SEE I CAN do 2 things at once!!!!LOLO No one ever believed me b-4!!
