Whomever taught you that you are not a quilter because you tie is wrong. Technically the definition of quilting is any means used to keep the layers of top, batting and backing together. So if you tie, do crows footing, traditional running stitch or machine quilt, we are ALL quilters. Anyone who says a tied quilt is not a "real" quilt and those who tie are not quilters really makes me angry. Who ordained them the authority to deem someone a quilter or not. GRRRR :-(
