I used Mode 2, Stitch 23, stitch length 5. I tried 22, 23, 24...but liked this one best. You really have to experiment a bit (maybe quite a bit), especially with the tension. Some people find they have to set the tension all the way up; others do not. There are also potential problems with the (transparent) monofilament thread stretching (I actually set the thread in a jar off to the side of the machine, giving it a chance to relax a little before making it to the needle).
Did you know there's a yahoo group specifically for owners of the Janome 6500/6600? Lots of help there.
