Surgery tomorrow
#1
I am going to have bunion surgery tomorrow morning. I used to be a runner and need significant reconstructive work on my foot. I will have to keep my foot elevated and won't be able to sit at my machine sooooooo I will be hand piecing and doing some redwork. Has anyone even used their machine without using their foot pedal?

When I took a Martha Pullen's class and had to do miles of pintucks, she said that when her sciatica bothered her, she'd tuck the foot contol under her tush & drive that way. It really wasn't hard to get used to it.
So, maybe if you could sit at a table.So, you could elevate your foot underneath,& you could sit at your machine.Good luck !

Good luck tomorrow! I had surgery on both feet for bunions and hammertoes ( they were lovely lol) and I'm SO GLAD I did!!! My feet look and act like real feet now LOL
No advice for sewing though. I think I did hand work if I remember correctly. But others gave you some good advice :)
