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:
Sadly, I'm with you. I used to be barefoot all the way, until developing a neuroma (luckily only in one foot, I can't imagine both). Now I have to have shoes on all the time...though I do cheat when sewing.
