What machine are you using? Get out your machine manual and follow the directions for setting up the foot and covering or lowering the feed dogs. The foot will generally not hit the plate when it is lowered if it is positioned correctly and is the foot for your model of machine.

Is your machine electronic ? If so, check the utilty menu on your machine for an option to change the presser foot setting. I have this option on my machine, yet I swear it is not mentioned in the 'handbook' or 'user guide' that came with my machine .

This happened to me, be sure you are using the darning foot that came with your machine, I have three machines and just grab a darning foot out of the tray to use, wrong one , some machines are seet lower than others and cannot use a ganeric foot, after I put the darning foot that came with the machine it did FMQ fine and every thing moves easily!
