I was just thinking about this yesterday and today I see a post about who wears shoes when sewing. My grandma was the sewer in my family, and her presser foot was put on her machine to be used by her knee rather then her foot. I never questioned it as a child because hers always was like that and in school I just figured they were not like that because our machines were not the built in type like grandmas. So when I got my new machine and before hubby got it put in my cabinet, I had to use the foot control..wow was that different..and that little bugger kept moving on me. lol
