I will attempt my first post with the new format, I dislike change, at least not for the better. Anyway, I have had a longarm for about 14 months and am still learning. I haven't done as many quilts as you have. I definitely would not feel confident to do any free motion. I use pantos and have decided I will never be a gifted quilter just an adequate quilter, good enough for my family. I have lowered my expectations of myself and am OK with what I have done so far. I don't plan to quilt for anyone other than family so that takes a lot of the pressure off.
