If all the other feet are doing what they should be doing, then yes, go ahead and try a different darning foot.

My very favorite darning foot is this one:

If you've got a standard low-shank presser bar, this foot gives you really good visibility, it's very quiet and it's apparently indestructible, too. :mrgreen:

Good luck! :)
