without, but I usually take both off, which was why he was probably looking at you weird, not because you had it off but because you just had one on. Everyone has their little quirks, makes us all different.

Barefoot :)

Me too cause my feet get really hot & i have to slip off my shoes-I even take them off at work!!

me too. i do the pedal better with a bare foot!

I thought you were supposed to sew without shoes on.. Now you tell me there is another way?

Guilty! Sometimes I get up and press seams or do something on the PC and not bother putting the other shoe on.

I also prefer to sew barefoot but I also loose the shoes the minute I walk in the house.

I have always sewn barefoot. My mother did, too. Now that my ironing board is in another room and I have issues with my feet I sometimes put back on my Crocs to go iron but I never sew with them on.

I hobble around the house with one sho off and one shoe on, too. Like you, it just seems I have better control when I can feel the foot peddle.

Barefoot here. I sew on my featherweight and need my big toe free for the button on the pedal:thumbup:.
