Most of the time this issue is...the bottom of the walking foot does not line up with the feed dogs. Sometimes they do not match at all on one side, causing a problem with moving the fabric evenly. I would ask for a replacement of your foot

A lot of people have found success with this Janome walking foot for the Juki. Read all the comments from the Juki owners to get a flavor of it. https://www.amazon.com/Janome-Conver...-crafts&sr=1-4
