No it's not stupid. I can control much easier in bare or sock feet. shoes feel awkward.

Barefoot or with socks for me too!

Barefoot when the weather is warm (and sometimes even when it's not) and Sockfooted when the tootsies are cold. When I took my first quilting class, there was one other girl (she was younger than me) who also removed her shoes to sew. It's the only way to be.

I used to be barefoot all year round. I'm very flat footed with no arch at all, so being a little round and older has done a number on my poor feet. So a couple of yrs ago I got in the habit of wearing houseshoes in the house at all times. Now I cannot stand to be barefoot. I've tried sewing with no shoes and it does not work. Have to have my houseshoes on. LOL I've dropped the Rotary Cutter a few times and gotten pretty close to the feet. Yikes~!

I always wear my shoes.......except when I'm sewing and quilting. Then off they come. I always sew barefoot.

I treadle barefoot all year long!! I feel I have better control over the situation if I am barefoot. In the spring summer and fall I stay barefoot all of the time except when we go out or I have to run to the fabric store then its sandals for me.

Shoes get in the way for me, in fact I am barefoot while I type this! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Summer - barefoot; Winter - socks

I too control the foot pedal better barefoot.

I'm like the Mennonite children that used to live here- around the farm-walk barefoot everywhere except the woods and even do chores barefoot. Yes, that includes going in the chicken coop and collecting eggs and feeding Pete the goat. Amazingly I have only stepped in poo twice.
My feet are wider, but don't wear high heels anymore so it's ok. I take good care of my feet and have no spurs or bunions. My feet and ankles do swell occasionaly so barefoot is more comfy.
