I used to have the 6500 and while I would use the knee lift to raise the presser foot so I could install the walking foot, it looks like your foot may be for a high shank machine. I also agree that I never (on any of my Janomes) have fully removed the screw. It is way to hard to put back in -- so said my dealer when I bought the machine, so I have not removed it.

The 6500 does not have ascu feed... It was the reason I purchased the 6600 instead...

yep, wrong foot, You need the low shank foot. there are two different ones and I agree with Deecee it looks like you have a high shank foot.

I Have a Janome 6600. On mine you can lift the presser foot even more if your lift the lever higher. Mine will lift higher than what you would normally lift it for sewing. Hope this makes sense.

I have this machine. Did the foot come with it? If you push the knee lifter bar does it go up more so you can install the walking foot? I do not remove the screw either. It looks like the right foot.

Not the right one. you need the low shank walking foot. one that fits a singer will work. you shouldn't have to take the screw out to put it into place.
