Upgrade? Any longarm can do a panto. You don't need to upgrade unless you don't have rear handles on your longarm (although the only one that doesn't automatically come with them to my knowledge is the Bernina). For non-robotic machines, it is a paper pattern laid out on your rear table and you follow with a stylus. Most LA have a laser light to follow the design but you can do it with an oversized knitting needle clamped to the rear carriage.
