This has me a bit confused. When I FMQ, I lower the feed dogs and change the presser foot to a darning foot then set the stitch length to "0". You state you remove the presser foot. You need to have some kind of foot on the machine.
Are you doing free motion or stitch in the ditch? You have to have some kind of foot on the machine. Hope this helps a little.
Prism99 has the right info!
