Every craft or hobby involves different techniques and methods. Pantos and FMQ are just different methods of quilting and neither one is inferior to the other. Both require knowledge and skill and both produce beautiful results. You are definitely NOT 'less than' and anyone that thinks you are, is ignorant and does not deserve the time and effort that you put into your work. I don't have a longarm so I only do basic quilting on my DSM but my personal preference for longarming if I send my tops out, is panto.
