I must be getting old!
In my new sewing studio, my computer and sewing machine are in an L-shaped configuration. This morning I rolled my chair from my sewing machine to the computer and searched with my foot for the foot pedal to start my computer up...wow. Had to laugh at myself when I realized what I was doing!

If you have a tablet computer, you know that to enlarge something, you touch 2 fingers to the screen and spread them apart. I caught myself doing that to printed text the other day. Didn't work worth a darn.

I also occasionally try to lower the needle on one of my vintage machines by tapping the foot pedal like I do on the Bernina. |
That's great! When I learned to sew, my mother had a Singer 15-91 in a cabinet and the foot pedal was attached to the cabinet so you push your knee against the lever to make it sew. For years I couldn't figure out why I was always pushing my right leg into the leg of my sewing table. When she gifted the machine to me 30 years later it finally occurred to me.

I've been doing stuff like that for several years. |
