Excellent idea. I can't sew with shoes on either. When I go to a class and take my machine, I'm always taking off my one shoe.

I'm going to try this. I hate chasing my foot pedal around.

I also sew barefoot or sockfoot - don't feel that I have control with shoes on. I have a very high-tech way of keeping my foot control from walking away. My machine is set up on the long side of the diningroom table, so I have the foot pedal wedged up against the leg of the dining chair at the end of the table to the right (I use my right foot). It moves from side to side a bit, but doesn't "walk" away.

Wow, thanks for all of the ideas!

I found this remedy a few months ago : http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20087-1.htm Annie

Mine doesn't run around on me! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

But I am a barefoot sewer also even if all I use is a treadle. It lets me have better control over the machine it seems. And the only electric machine I have I have the foot control mounted in the cabinet so its a knee control.

Yes I am bare foot while using it!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
