I have a Janome 6600P and my dealer told me to take the bottom off of the machine and clean the lint out of that area. (There are 4 screws that hold the bottom plate on the machine.) I try to do it every few quilts. It is amazing how much fuzz gets in there. The machine runs much better and quieter after a good cleaning.
