Janome has a fix for this problem. It is a new bobbin case that has a blue arrow on it. The screw is set tighter than the regular bobbin case is set. There is also another darning foot that works really well for freemotion quilting.
Also clean out under the bobbin case with every project, lots of lint build up there.

It is a quilting frame that supports my 6600P. You can see it at newjoyquilting.com. I also lurk at the Yahoo group for New Joy. I would love a long-arm, but need to master this first. I have done several practice quilts and recently finished my daughter's quilt. I am about to load up another quilt that will go to my neighbor.

The new bobbin case for the 6600 has a blue mark on it instead of the red mark and it has 40% less tension on the bobbin thread.. I paid $16 for mine. :lol: They also have a FMQ foot which goes for about $25 ( you can get the set for about $45) but you really only need the bobbin case to improve your FMQ :thumbup: LOL Liz

Hope you have been able to solve this dilemma!
There is a yahoo group for Janome6500 /6600 owners that has remarkable info regarding all things 'Janome' ... go to Yahoo groups and do a search on Jamone to find it. I belong to the group and the members are great at helping with tips, tricks, solutions and more.

By golly! I forgot that I had joined that group in 2004 in anticipation of my new 6600. THANK YOU for reminding me. On the site, under "Files" it has pictures of the bobbin holder and the Order Number.
