I just got a Janome 6600 in Jan, from a dealer, it was the floor model. I absolutely LOVE it !
I have used all kinds of thread in it, because I was learning to use it.. did not want to waste my expensive stuff.
It has "bucked" a few times, but I realized it was "operator error" that caused it and was able to correct it.
Since I have played around and found out what I need to do to make it not pull material in and bind up the bobbin, as I said ... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !
As other posts have said, make sure it is threaded correctly..
bobbin wound correctly, if not threaded correctly, it can wind too tight or too loose)
and put the needle down in fabric,. not on the edge.. you may need to use a starter piece to be sure to sew on the edge of the material...
