Hi Dina, Bravo to you!!! The hardest step in doing something is getting started and sounds like you are well on your way. Keep the positive attitude going. I have quilted 3 king size quilts and numerous queen on my Janome 6600. Some straight line stitching and now lots of free motion and I am still loving it all. I also now have the Janome 8900 and have found that a lot smoother for my free motion quilting. I felt soooo intimidated with the free motion years ago, but kept trying. Now I am at a point where I am not afraid to try most any motifs and loving it even more. But I will say this, lots of practice sandwiches. I am constantly watching tutorials. So look forward to the amazing quilting you are going to do. And you are right about not rolling the quilt, that creates problems for me. I just keep it bunched up around and free from drag. We are always learning in this wonderful world of quilting........
