What is the wick :?:[/quote]
the wick: take off cover plate, take out bobbin and bobbin holder, in the middle of the circle there is a small hole, with what might look like a light colored big piece of lint in there, don't pull it out with the tweezers, that is the wick. no more than 2 drops at a time.

Congratulations on your new machine! Ditto the suggestions already given. And, in case you're interested, there is also a yahoo group dedicated solely to the Janome 6500/6600 machines. The name of the group is Janome6500.

Thanks for all the good suggestions.I finally found the correct tension and was able to finish quilting my grandsons quilt. Now on to the binding. I have read about the bobbin case. Too bad you can't use the automatic thread cutter when you are using it. I sure love that thread cutter! I will definately get the bobbin case. I've never had a machine that didn't have a bobbin case. I was scratching my head, trying to figure out how to adjust the bobbin tension with no case.
You are all the greatest, to take time to help a fellow quilter. I'll post a picture of the quilt when it's finished.
The next quilt is a queen size for our son and ddil. I'll be ready to start quilting it as soon as I am sure the problem is solved. Picking out a mile of stitches is not on my list of fun things to do...haha

Ditter I think the cutter is the reason the thread drops from the take up arm. I can sew worry free for a long time not using the cutter. Than I use the cutter and the thread will drop. I might be wrong but that is my experience.
