Oh you lucky, lucky people!! I was a barefoot girl for years and years. Now as I'm "getting older" things have changed. I have very high arches and have to wear orthotics. Then last year I developed neuromas in both feet (sort of like carpal tunnel of the feet).
I ALWAYS have to wear shoes when I quilt or my feet go crazy, hurting so much... :-(
It's true though, you actually CAN control the foot pedal with shoes on...when forced! :wink:
