I think quilting on a DSM is heroic (because of the throat space) and should be a separate category. I think quilting on a sit down mid arm machine (like the HQ Sweet 16), should be separated from quilting with a stand-up long arm, because of the difference of moving quilt vs. moving machine. Computer-programmed long arm quilting should be separate again. I don't quite understand the concept of the DSMs on frames. Are you moving the machine, or the quilt? I'm not sure about the idea of stand-up long arm quilting done by a professional being separate from stand-up long arm quilting done by a non-professional. It seems being professional is simply the choice of whether one wants to quilt for others for pay; it doesn't necessarily equate to a higher standard of quilting.
