The 6600 have another lift which makes the feet go higher so it is easier to put the quilt under. Check and see if you have not lifted it too high. I have done it so you can very easily lift the foot higher with out thinking. Also use the same breed of cotton top and bobbin so it works better. I found out also when I had problems. Good Luck.
