I wear socks to quilt. I like to be able to "feel" the foot pedal. I just don't do as well with my shoes on.

Bare footed. I usually wear slippers at home, take my shoes off right when I walk in, but I will take the slippers off to sew.
Not usually socks either because I don't want my foot to slide on the pedal. Then I find myself walking out of the room for something with one slipper on. |
Joining the "barefoot conga line". But I live barefoot when I am at home.

I was born barefoot, and it still feels right :wink:
|
I have to wear socks also, I think I can feel the pedal better.

I am a bare footer, I can't do anything unless I'm barefoot. When I used to sing in a choir I had to take my shoes off and be barefoot or I couldn't sing. LOL :)

But I've stepped on more than a FEW Legos in my time, bad enough that I've bruised my foot and found it quite difficult to walk for a week. So... shoes became necessary. I don't like stepping on toys. I can walk comfortably, my legs don't tire out so much, and I feel ready to attack the day and whatever it brings. |
Another barefooter at home :wink: , need the pedal control and love the freedom, but I do wear heavy socks when I use the machines at my LQS because everyone else is wearing their shoes.
I also "should" be wearing my arch supports :oops: (but I love to let the "dogs breath" as my nana always said), however I have discovered FitFlops I have them in six colors, LOOOOVVVVEEE THEEEEEMMMMMM :D for when I am out and about. |
I am always in socks, so it's socks for me.

Barefoot - my shoes live just inside the door, they come off my feet as soon as I step in, and the last thing I put on when I'm leaving. :wink: Even in my regular quilt class, I slip my shoe off when I sew - otherwise I feel like I don't have control of the foot pedal.
