OK - hope these pic's help. All pics were taken with the presser foot in the up position (1st position up - not full up). And yes, my foot says P2 on the back.

From the front and a little to the side. You can see the bar that is over the needle screw.

Is this the foot you're trying to use? http://www.amazon.com/Janome-Embroid.../dp/B0042ICC7K
If so don't use that in your 6600...that's only for embroidery machines, not the sewing machine! It's the foot that my Janome 350e uses...I just went to look and sure enough there is the P stamped right above the open space in the foot! Not the one you want!
Did you buy your machine used? It's possible someone mixed up the feet. If you bought it new from a dealer it should have the P2 foot in the box with all the other presser feet too.
Edit: DogHouseMom your pictures are MUCH better than mine! My camera is old and my photography-fu is not so strong :mrgreen:

I free machine fine on my Pfaff, but the idea of the 6600 was to replace it...the foot just doesn't seem to be gripped by the screw...what am I doing wrong someone....any who had a photo of how this foot attaches and I'll swim the ocean and hug them....well maybe not but I really would be happy !

I have a Janome 6600P and the P-2 is the foot I use for FMQ. Be sure your feed dogs are DOWN. Feed dog control is at the front of the machine at the bottom on the right side. If your machine is in a table, there's a little oval opening at the front where you have to stick your finger to flip the control! Be sure the little "arm" on the P-2 foot is above the needle screw when you attach it. The foot will "float" just above your fabric so YOU control it. It does not sit down on the fabric! Don't give up! This is worth learning!

Are you lowering the presser foot?
