    I am a no shoes sewer/quilter also. I feel that my feet are an extension of my hands and better coordinate with my brain.

    I have better control on the footpedal when the shoe is off. Now what do you suppose I do with the knee pedal? LOL

    I have problems with my right foot and have to wear ugly orthopedic tennis or slippers all the time. I have friends that get mad at me when I ask if I can please keep my shoes on in their house. If I go without shoes it's very painful, they just don't get it.
    As for the bra, I' m 56 and still don't have enough to sag. If I put a pencil under my boob it falls on the floor , most people don't understand that concept either. LOL

    If I'm sewing with my Featherweight (I use my big toe) I just wear socks or keep my right foot bare. If I'm using my Bernina or Pfaff or any other machine with a flat foot pedal I wear my shoes. Hate being barefoot, if I could shower with my
    shoes on I would.

    Bare naked feet for me. I use either foot to press the pedal. Depends on where the furbabies are sleeping at my feet. :) I have a pair of thin soled slippers(like ballet slippers) I keep in my sewing bag for classes. I set up my machine then take my shoes off and put my slippers on.

    I am adding to the question, do you only sew with one foot or can/do you use both feet?
