I HATE SHOES!!! Very high arches, AAAA narrow heels. Shoes never fit me anyway, so why bother! I am a barefoot girl, no matter what the season...nearly 50 years old and my mother still hollers at me for going outside in the winter barefooted...funny, I have yet to "catch my death" of anything! Tried to sew with shoes on...got so distracted by it that I forgot what I was doing! BOOOO to shoes!

I have always sewn either barefoot or with my socks on (in winter). It is a good thing too because one day I was sewing along and my foot on the foot peddle felt a little warmer than the other. It kept getting hotter and hotter...my foot peddle was overheating! Thank goodness I didn't have my shoes on and caught it before it started a fire as it was shorting out. Whew!

I always do. We don't wear shoes in the house here in Hawaii. 8-)

What are "shoes"? ;-) ;-)

I have short legs and some of my chairs are too high to comfortably reach the pedal without my shoes. I can still feel the control just fine. A friend from guild dropped her rotary cutter on her foot and had to have surgery to repair tendons.

oh my that is awful, hope she is doing better now from her surgery

I am always barefoot or have socks on in my house. I have a little dog that panics whenever I put on shoes or even touch my purse because he knows I am leaving. I don't even think I could sew with my shoes on. If I had my way I'd even drive barefooted. Whenever I go over some of my friends I ask if I can take off my shoes.

This is so enlightening to me! I thought I was the only one who never wore shoes! I love the feel of clean, bare floors on my feet (and they don't stay clean if you wear shoes in the house). I seem to have a better "feel" for my pedal if I am barefoot (or in the winter, sockfoot). Quilters seem to have quite a few little things like this in common. No wonder we instantly bond in the fabric department!

Being country bred gal, I love going barefoot in the house. I do sew with slippers on sometimes, but I love going barefoot. I, too, have foot problems and find it difficult to find shoes that are kind to me "tiny" 8 1/2 size feet.
