Medion...... I do have the smooth presser door and walking foot as well. I do recommend you get those, or sand/carefully grind what you have. They are relatively inexpensive from Toledo Sewing. Even so, you still may get some foot marks, but in my experience, nothing that a bone creaser can’t smooth out. Keep messing with your foot pressure. 

Cheers - sorry to be a pain, but are you able to show me a link to the bits you changed on your machine?

I believe the standard factory presser feet ( both ) are or have smooth surfaces that contact the fabric or materials. 

These can be obtained from one of the Juki dealers here that contribute on the site. They may have options that can also be of interest. 

Im not sure if a smooth feed dog can be had, though its been mentioned on the site a few years ago.

 

Good day

I have bought some smooth bottom inner feet, but every third party foot is very thin in the width.  The OEM one from Juki is very expensive but I like the size of the foot print. Anyone know of a third party that sells the inner foot with the same width of Juki's?

Hey its before coffee time here, So what is that wish width to be? For a presser foot with the needle hole.

Here the width runs a consistant .24?” using a cheap vernier digital caliper. 

 

Good day

The factory inner foot does measure .240 and every third party foot measures .187 it's not much of a difference. But it does help having the bigger foot print to make my own open toe presser foot.  You know of a any cheap inner feet with the .240 size with a smooth bottom.
