I too have a Janome 6600P that I struggled with on FMQ. I bought a Juki and use that for FMQ all the time. One thing I found is the pressure foot reulator needs to be up as high as it will go. Bought the Janome for quiting because it was supposed to be a quilting machine. I understand how discouraged youmust be.

Am I being unreasonable?
