I don't wear shoes in the house so of course, I sew with no shoes on too. :)

shoeless, toes curled over the end of the footpedal to hold it in place.

Count me in. I've just read this is a better way to control foot pedal.

Shoeless here too. In the winter, I have 2-3 prs of socks on for warmth out of habit. My compression stockings, then a pair of anklets, then a pair of fuzzy warm socks. But I have to slip on my mules (all 3 pair fit into them)to cut and iron or my legs, hips, and lower back get sore from being barefooted standing too long. Have to support the arches.

Count me in. Normally I'm always wearing my shoes, but when I sew I have to take them off. I can't get the correct steady pressure on the foot pedal with shoes on.

As for pins, I keep a magnet handy and run it over the carpet or tile in the area I'm sewing in. I got into this habit when my boys were very small. It's amazing how well a magnet works for that.

Always. Cannot stand to wear shoes when I sew!

depends on the weather! cold weather requires at least socks, sometimes slippers....in warm weather you might see me barefoot or in a pair of flops!

I sew without shoes & many times alternate my feet. Of course I am always barefoot in the house anyway.

Shoeless club.

Put a piece of textured shelf and drawer liner under your foot pedal. It won't slide around that way

Ditto for me too! Right shoe is always of when I am sewing but mostly both shoes are off when I am in the house.

I wear shoes --- and this reminds me to update my DTP shot ---on top of Washington state having a pertussis epidemic (whooping cough). I keep my shoes on after narrowly missing the top of my foot when my hands did a carpal tunnel spasm while I was using my rotary cutter

I sew in my slippers. They're soft enough I can feel the pedal and I can get up and go wherever without worrying about stepping on a pin or something else on my way from the shed to the house. In the winter they're warm and in the summer they're comfortable.

shoe off for me!

No shoes for sewing or driving. My shoes also seem to magically come off when I'm teaching.

I am always barefoot, unless I go to the store etc. I can only sew barefoot.

Stocking feet for me! No shoes. I want to feel the medal when I sew.

member of the barefoot club here too....a few women at my quilt guild are the same way...we kick our shoes off and sew right on

I sew shoeless too. In the winter I MIGHT wear socks, but I've been known to kick them off too. A case of "blue toes" won't stop me from sewing. :D

If I am at home, I am barefooted..........

No show either, I need to feel the pedal. I have been to a class and the instructor had heels on and sewing. That just blew my mind.

I'm the same way. It is either bared or socked even when I go to a charity all day event. In that case when I am not home, I have some sort of slip on shoes that comes off when it is time to sit down and work. If I need to go iron or what not, the shoes just slip back on just in case of someone leaving something sharp on the floor.

I can't sew with shoes at all. EVen when I test the machines in the store, off comes the right shoe! I also rarely wear any shoes or slippers in the home. I think this comes from my dad, who spent time in Japan.

Count me in the 'shoeless' column.

Same here.

Usually no shoes, but if not just flip flops.

I can sew with or without shoes on. Depends on where my cockatoo is at the time. Had them off yesterday & he bit my heel so I had to clean up blood off the carpet, wash my compression sock & then stitch up the hole he made in it. He's sneaky & tries to build a nest under my chair, then gets aggressive if I move. He got a "Time Out" yesterday until he calmed down.

Same for me. I drive my machine with no shoe.

I hate wearing shoes. lol so I am a barefoot stitcher. :-)

I live in the deep south you know I sew barefooted

Count me in. Always barefoot in the house.

LOL I always do this! I usually wear flip flops and just flip the one on my right foot off before i sew but then i walk around ironing etc. and go back and forth so i never put it back on LOL. I understand totally!

Love it! Shoeless is the way to go for me too!

I always wear shoes or slippers - a friend who used to sew barefoot, had a needle surgecally removed from her foot and had to wear a "boot" for 2 weeks - and was not able to sew or drive for the entire time.

Barefoot is the only way for me. I tried with my house slippers and it just doesn't work!

I sew with both shoes off most of the time. If I'm dressed to go out and I sit back down, then I sew with one shoe on and one shoe off. I have always done my sewing this way, made home-ec SUCK. Teacher didn't want you taking off you shoes (but I used to any way):) My mom used to say it was "The Hilly Billy" coming out in me, my standard answer was always the same "SO".

I grew up at the beach so it's no shoes all the time!

I'm barefoot on one foot.

I like my socks on but no shoes, no makeup ,and in my PJ.Life is good when your retired. Sandy
