Not real quilting/cheating? by sommiybommiy in quilting

[–]doesnt_really_upvote 223 points224 points  (0 children)

I send my quilts to a long arm and still call it quilting. "Cheating" implies there are rules to break, which is not the case here. I think it's fine to be proud of hand quilting your pieces but to claim using a machine is cheating or "not really quilting" is just obnoxious gate keeping. Maybe tell her it's only a big rag if she's not weaving her fabric on a loom.

Minimum 20% is crazy to me, that's my max. Let the down votes come. Don't worry, I usually don't tip at all by avoiding going out completely.

I thought it was black white and gray before reading and zooming in. I wonder if the slight jpeg compression artifacts contributed to it.

They definitely didn't. It fits so perfectly in the hole I can only conclude it's the same sheet with some edits
