But if you enter a contest and deliberately do not follow the rules (which we cannot verify the person this thread was started about was doing without seeing those rules, they likely weren't) you are CHEATING.
If a quilt show says only a single stitcher, if someone else did your quilting, and you enter anyway, it's cheating.
If you enter a quilt show that asks you to disclose whether you used a stitch regulator, and you did but don't say- it's cheating.
What word would you prefer? Doing something against the rules, on purpose, is cheating.
