Default Learning Free Motion Quilting

I have tried free motion quilting and have become very frustrated. I have encountered a very difficult situation I will start with a question. Is it possible for a open toe darning foot to put to much pressure on the plate when lowered.
I have followed all instruction for my machine but when I lower the darning foot I latterly have to pull or push my practice piece with enough force that it can mis-shapen the material.

I know that this is a technique that will require much practice but I also know I need to be able to quide the material without such force.

Are there different types of open toe quilting/darning feet. This one did not come with my machine but was ordered through the web site for my machine. The spring is very tight and I do not see any way to adjust it.

All suggestions are welcomed.
