About sewing barefoot.
One day I was sewing and had a terrible time with the foot control. I just could not get it to cooperate with me. I tried for an hour or so to determine what was wrong.
I WAS SEWING WITH SHOES ON. I never, never, never wear shoes in the house to start with. Don't know why I was wearing them that day. Anyway, got my control back when the shoes came off.
