Thank you for pointing this out. I too ask a certified quilt appraiser about a vintage top's value if it were to be machine quilted, hand quilted or left unquilted. She informed me that either machine or hand quilted would not impair the value as long as the quilting was done well. Leaving it unquilted would actually lower the value.
