Summary[edit]

Description
English: We're having a little fun today celebrating National Sewing Machine Day with geographic names.

Did you know that Utah scores big with two sewing machine place names? Sewing Machine Pass, a gap, is located in Beaver County and is shown on the Sewing Machine Pass topographic map. The Sewing Machine is a pillar in Garfield County and is shown on the Sewing Machine topographic map.

And for all you sewing fanatics, according to the USGS Geographic Names database at geonames.usgs.gov there are 22 place names with thread in their title, including the towns of Threadville, Mississippi and Silver Thread Falls in New York.

Also, look out for Bobbin Mill Branch in Connecticut, Needle Rock in Alaska, and Scissors Crossing in California.

The combinations seem endless. Whatever your hobby you'll find interesting place names across the United States.
