    since our shoes come off at the door when we enter the house i've never sewn in shoes- we do not wear shoes inside- sometimes if my feet are cold i may have slippers on. but i've been sewing without shoes for 45+ years- we were never allowed to wear shoes in the house.

    I've told this story before so forgive me if I'm boring anyone. A few years back, it was quite cold so I had on shoes. And I tried to sew. Just could not get the feel of the machine for diddly. Finally realized I had a shoe on my sewing foot. I've been seen tromping around with only a left shoe, more than once.

    I alway sew shoeless, even at the LQS where I work. Gotta be "one" with the machine! Slip-ons are a must at work, so that I can slip them back on quickly when a customer walks through the door!

    I am barefoot most of the time.

    Only time I wear shoes is if we go to town or go outside.

    The foot that's on the pedal has the shoe off! How can you feel the small incremental movements of the pedal any other way?
