What do you all wear on your feet when you are at your machine?

One winter I was having a horrible time sewing. Just could not get the machine to cooperate with me. I HAD SHOES ON! I have to keep at least my right foot naked. No socks either.

I hand piece and hand quilt so I curl up in my recliner with a quilt over my lap and feet and sew, sew, sew! LOL

Hi Ladies,
I am a new quilter. However, I would like to enlighten you on something one of my many doctors I go to see regarding my heart, blood, and sugar has shared with me regarding going barefoot in our home. There is a patient, whom I do not know anything except this short story of....who went to do her sewing one morning barefoot. Several days later, she was to the point she couldn't walk and couldn't find out why. So, to the doctor she came. They examined and ran x-ray and found she had stepped just so and forced a needle completely all the way into her foot, which she didn't even feel. She had diabetes. It had already gotten so bad, that after administering medicines, it just wouldn't heal, and they wound up cutting off her leg above her knee. Please, please, please, I beg of you be very careful when you go around your sewing room.

I struggle to sew with shoes/sandals on. The most I want is socks on. It seems I have better control.
