You forgot us handquilters!! I would have said,
Machine quilting vs. Hand quilting or tying.
We have so many options, sadly there will always be some people who just KNOW that theirs is the ONLY way to do something, and they can be quite vocal about it. Just smile, nod your head, and move away slowly....
I have been making quilts for over 30 years and learned about this very early. We had made what I thought was a traditional quilt and were looking for a sales venue. Went into two different craft galleries. One said "Too traditional." The other said "Too modern". Same quilt.
Just please yourself, that is what is important.
