I use a computerised long arm machine, and put every ounce of care and love I can into a quilt. I think each to their own. Some may think paper piecing is cheating, because you work off a template, other may argue that appliqué should be judged differently, because you sew a shape on top. Appliqué by machine is different to hand sewing, which is different to turned... I think there is room for everything, but most certainly agree that there should be many, many more categories in a quilt show. I feel we shouldn't compare and measure two very different methods when they both have different skills required.
