Thank you for your tips! The feed dogs lower (the Pfaff 2134 is also an embroidery machine) and I bring the presser foot halfway down as the instruction book tells me. However, the construction on the Pfaff darning foot is so that an arm rests with an angle on the needle-holding-screw and there's no visible spring. I tried to control how far down it goes by putting a folded piece of paper between the foot arm and the screw. It was difficult to get it to sit there, even with tape. I might get a generic foot and try with the rubber band and see if that will help me. I'd also like to open the toe and performing this invasive procedure on a generic would hurt less than on the original.
