NO you are no less of a quilter by doing pantos. Pantograph quilting is not as easy as it looks and it takes a skill and a learning curve to do it well. It also takes a discerning eye to pick out a panto that compliments the quilt. Anyone who gives the impression of otherwise, please ignore them and continue doing what you love. There is a place for all levels of quilting in the quilting world. Not everyone can turn out a show quilt, not everyone wants a show quilt. Some quilts are made to be loved to death and others are meant to become heirlooms passed down from one generation to the next. Some are meant to be used some are meant to hang an a wall. It is all good and if you are not comfortable at the front of the machine doing your own thing that is fine too.
