Does anyone else sew barefoot?
#316
I didn't sew barefoot until I took a machine quilting class and the instructor suggested we go barefoot when quilting because it give you more control over machine speed.
Now I'm always misplacing my shoes...

I'm never barefoot in my sewing room and it's for safety reasons.
First, I'm concerned about pins lurking in the carpeting. More important, I'd hate to experience the damage that could be done by a dropped rotary cutter on a bare foot.

Yes, I sew barefoot or just with socks on. In my home, we usually take our shoes off when we come in from outside (we live on a farm). We got use to the idea from living in Japan for 5 years.
Even if I have shoes on for some reason (like in a class) , I take off the right shoe when I go to sew. I feel as if I have better control of the speed when I do that.
