What kind of foot and what kind of fabric?

You might like to try a Teflon foot.

I was using the standard zig zag foot I have in my singer and the
fabric was a stretch poly-cotton, (very ravelling)!

It's a foot with a Teflon bit on it that goes next to the fabric. You
can buy stick-on bits for some feet...

As for the fabric marking - I think you are just unfortunate. Try
lighter presser foot pressure, sewing more slowly, or using a walking or
roller foot.
