I think it is because there is such a different level of quilters that can piece the tops but the quilting is a whole other art if you will, they would have to include not just one idea, but a variety to cover everyone. It is just easier to say, quilt as desired. I know that even for books etc that there is a lot less for the quilting side than the piecing side. Being new to my machine, I am trying to find and learn all sorts of things and it is hard to know where to start.
