Every once in awhile my 6600 keeps sewing after my foot is off the pedal, Anyone else have this happen. It has happened a few times .So what is going on with this?

How long have you had your machine. Reason being, my 3500 did that and it was my footpedal wearing out. My neighbor had the same thing happen. There is a spring in the foot pedal and it lets go after a lot of use. Hope this helps.

Apparently this is a known problem. Your Janome dealer should take care of it (replacement pedal?). Warranty on the foot pedal is 5 years.

BTW I learned this from the yahoo group...

Thanks for the info on the pedal problem. Have only had machine 4 yrs. So will look into getting a new pedal

Hi All, phoned the Janome dealer where I bought machine and he informed me that the pedal is not replaced as it only has 1 yr. warrenty. He has offered to clean it at no charge but a new one would cost me $50to $80. I have to drive 1 hr for this service.

Digitizer Jr. is software for Janome embroidery machines. I love using the software, even though my embroidery machine and I haven't quite hit it off.

I, too, LOVE my Janome 6600! Every time I use it, I want to write all over the Quilting Board and on Facebook how much I LOVE it!

I love my Janome 6600P. It's a great machine. I also have a little Janome 750 to take to class and retreats. It only weighs 12 pounds and has lots of nice features for a small machine.
