This is so enlightening to me! I thought I was the only one who never wore shoes! I love the feel of clean, bare floors on my feet (and they don't stay clean if you wear shoes in the house). I seem to have a better "feel" for my pedal if I am barefoot (or in the winter, sockfoot). Quilters seem to have quite a few little things like this in common. No wonder we instantly bond in the fabric department!
