Usually with socks only. I have very cold feet. Even in summer, they get cold. Sometimes, I wander in there with my slippers on. I end up kicking off my right slipper to use the pedal without a shoe on. It is a control thing. How funny! I didn't know others did stuff like that for the same reason! Yeah! I'm normal!! (lol)

If I did that, I'd be a giant woolybooger by the time I got to the stairway. lol

Me too. I just saw all that here on my floors when I read this. Guess I should go up and mop floors. Or not. Woolyboogers rule! Lordy I love retirement!

I'm an out of control quilter...things go tossing over my head, drop around my feet if I miss the pin cushion, etc....and even though I always try to remember to shut my rotary down when not in use, I have been known to forget it w/it open. (Or what I drop carrying too many things from one side to the other of the room) So, shoes are an investment to keep sewing and prob not visiting the emerg. room..:)Skeat

hi Julie, I'm Donna (dojo36). wanted to ask you something about what kind of shoes you wear? i'm 72 and my arches have just fallen not too long ago and i am now flat-footed, went to foot doctor and they x-rayed and that's what he said. anyhow i have a horrible time finding any kind of shoes i can wear, my feet hurt terrible all the time in the arches and even when i go to bed at night - can hardly go to sleep for my arches hurting? do you have any better advice than the doctor did? thanks, donna

I sew either with socks on or barefooted. With shoes I feel I don't have control.

Mostly, I sew with bare feet (and this even after breaking off a needle in my foot that had to be surgically removed!).
