Patrick's studio is here in Phoenix. Gary works at the studio and would gladly answer any questions.
I know because I e-mailed the studio for some other info and Gary was most helpful. Did it all on the computer.

Deb Karasik has one that is not cheap - but I really like the feature that it continues past the needle - it sticks on to the machine, so it can be easily removed and re-stuck. http://www.debkarasik.com/store.php?cat=3
I took a class from her this weekend and got to see it in action. It is now on my wishlist.
Cheers, K

I have a Janome 6600 too. But I didn't know I had one of these seam guides. What I learn here could fill a book. Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it with the walking foot.
If it's the one I'm thinking your talking about ... (see link below on Bonnie Hunter's page) I use it every day on my Janome 6600. I love the "lead in space" that it gives me, it's incredibly "visible" (unlike the little tiny piece of metal on the 1/4" feet), and mine is wide enough to cover behind the foot and a good deal of "lead in" in front of the foot.
My consistency in 1/4" seams has improved dramatically since I started using it.
They're not only for vintage machines - check your machine, chances are pretty good that even it's a modern machine it has a screw hole.
