Default Sewer or Sewist?

Way back when, someone who did sewing was a sewer - not to be confused with the dirty water system.

Now, I am seeing someone that sews as a "sewist"?

Do you have preference for how what you want to be called?

I think of "sew" as a verb, whereas "quilt" can be a noun or a verb.

It seems like "-ist" or "-er" is added to indicate "one who does whatever"

But it does not seem to be consistent. Is there a rhyme or reason?
