If you are using the appropriate presser foot, you normally shouldn't need to adjust the presser foot pressure. The shaft on a darning foot or free motion quilting foot is shorter so when it is lowered to stitching position, the foot will not rest on the feed dogs or stitch plate. The extra space between the presser foot and the plate allows you to maneuver the fabric. (Be sure to drop the feed dogs so they do not interfere with the fabric's movement. Or, if the feed dogs do not drop on your machine, you should have a special plate in your accessory kit that covers the feed dogs.)

My Janome 9000 has always done that. I can prevent it by raising the needle when I first start the machine, getting it to sew quickly or raising the needle and letting the machine sit for a few minutes. I think my computer wants to warm up a minute. As you can see I.m not a technical person but it works for me.

Darning would normally be done with the triple stretch stich, the one that is a zig-zag broken up into three stitches right and then three stitches left. See-through Zig-Zag foot. Zig-Zag set at it's widest. Feed set to about 1/16-1/8 inch (1.5-3mm) and darn by sewing forward a bit, adjust fabric, and then backward by pressing and holding the reverse button. Continue back and forth until you've created a darned box. For extra strength, turn fabric 90 degrees and repeat over same area.

Your machine just needs to be tuned up an the part inside that lower and raises the presser foot needs to be re-lubricated. Lint, dust, dryness and the machine not being used can cause this issue with most pfaff machines (including my 7570). A standard tune up from your local PFAFF dealer will remedy this.
SOURCE: How do I install my darning foot?
First, raise the presser bar, remove the presser foot, the presser foot holder and screw.
Turn the handwheel to bring the needle to its highest position.
Place the darning foot on the presser bar and make sure that the metal bar of the darning foot is above the needle clamp and put the screw back on and tighten.
As the needle bar raises and lowers, the foot will hop up and down slightly.
Make sure that you always lower the presser bar when using this foot. Lower the feed dogs also if your machine has this feature.
