In my new sewing studio, my computer and sewing machine are in an L-shaped configuration. This morning I rolled my chair from my sewing machine to the computer and searched with my foot for the foot pedal to start my computer up...wow. Had to laugh at myself when I realized what I was doing!

I also occasionally try to lower the needle on one of my vintage machines by tapping the foot pedal like I do on the Bernina.

That's great! When I learned to sew, my mother had a Singer 15-91 in a cabinet and the foot pedal was attached to the cabinet so you push your knee against the lever to make it sew. For years I couldn't figure out why I was always pushing my right leg into the leg of my sewing table. When she gifted the machine to me 30 years later it finally occurred to me.
