You lever doesn't work because the presser foot Bar is seized from lack of use.Open the side of the machine to access the bar. Put a mixture of water and ammonia ( about 80%water 20% ammonia) on the top and bottom of the bar. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes then try to move the presser foot Up by lifting the foot with a screw driver. Do not pry so hard you break something. It should get progressively easy the more times you do this. Put some sewing machine oil on the top and bottom of the shaft and it should be good to go.

Am looking for the accessory parts that come with the JC Penney Model 6600 sewing machine any ideas?

The machine does take the class 66 bobbins.

The Class 66 bobbin is the correct bobbin. The Singer part number, 172336, is specific to the 10 pack of their bobbins. This site, http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bobbins-singer-apollo-class-66-172336.aspx , gives more details on the sewing machines that use the bobbin.I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
