That's always been my understanding, too. I don't see questions about "how close should I quilt this?" and "how should I quilt this?" as the same thing. The first asks how much quilting should be put on the quilt and the answer of "check the recommendation on the package" is appropriate. The second is a design question so the answer will be much different.
