I want to say I am sorry that someone made you think that your pantograph quilting is "less than". I make quilts that get used so I chose a lady who does edge to edge only and I am good with that. She is the professional so she chooses the quilting pattern/thread color to enhance the quilt design. I have always been quite pleased with the results. Should I make a quilt that will be more on display, I will find a quilter who does a different type of quilting. If you enjoy making charity quilts, then pantographs are the way to go for durability as well as design. I understand there are folks out there who want to chip away at someone who doesn't quilt just so, sew just so, have the best machine, latest fabric collection, "oh, a scrappy!", or any other comments. Stand tall and be proud of the work you do. My DGM used to say, "Do what you want to do in life as long as you are following the good Lord!" Well, I say you are doing just that.
