well yall, i don't know, but i have a janome 6600 also and i use the thread cutter all the time and i've never had the thread come out of the thread take up lever. i just can't imagine why that would happen except maybe the tension is too tight, otherwise, i have no idea.

I re-read your post,have you checked your settings for FMQ?
Are you using the foot pedal or the start/stop button only?
when you get "train tracks",i call them eye lashes..your going around the corners to fast, possibly. here is some good info on FMQ'ing
http://tiny.cc/j3XHU
The hints and info you/I receive,on line..i printed them out, and added them to my manual for future reference!
i also have small post it's on my machine, for settings to remember..lol!
in my email program,i have a file just for my 6600.
1.Always wear gloves
2.Play some music that you love..upbeat kind of stuff..to help you get in the "zone"
3.always stipple on a sandwich before you start on the quilt.
4. hey, if a glass of wine relaxes you..have one! lol!
5. Breathe!
6.Walk way from her when your tired or frustrated..it will only get worse,if you continue.
7. after every quilt, clean her,change the needle, and add a drop of oil to the wick.she will reward you with years of joy!

Congrats on your new machine! I love mine and have to admit the only time I have bunched up threads on the bottom was when I fed something into it like the edge of a quilt w/threads:)I'm glad you fixed yours...! Many more quilts to come!:)Skeat

:oops: Could you please explain the terms 'train tracks' and 'eyelashes'? I don't do FMQ....yet.
