Was thinking about your issue whilst searching for a bigger machine for myself.
A real alternative to using paper between the presser foot and top layer is either find the presser foot with little rollers built in, or else you buy a presser wheel.
The post bed Singer in Italy has the wheel and it's great, takes a bit of a learning curve though, as material sits different. Material may still drift but much less than with a regular foot.
I may be purchasing a heavy duty 'industrial' tailoring/alterations machine for medium to heavy fabrics to fire through some proper sized bags. If I do I'll almost certainly buy one of the wheels like this listing. I'm out of luck finding a good motorised compound feed/needle feed/walking foot (that is also cheap and local), and experience with the wheel before was positive.
