Miriam,

One of the first things I check when we get a new machine is the presser foot. In the last couple three months I've found at least five of those we bought had damaged presser feet. The SEWMORE I just got is really bad. Looks as if they actually ran the machine with the foot down on the feed dogs. So, I replace them.

I've found some that are pock marked on the top from needles too. My HOTHER foot is like that. I polished that down a bit and ran the bottom over some ceramic polishing plates to touch it up. It wasn't really bad.
