She never said ANYTHING about machine quilting being cheating. She asked whether it was cheating to enter a quilt in a show that wasn't all your own work. Since we don't know the rules of the show, we can't answer that, could be cheating, most cases it isn't- but people sure are getting fussy about something the OP didn't even say. The comment about cheating was entirely about SHOWS, not just making quilts.
