Sorry...I don't know what you are upset about. I NEVER compare my quilts to anyone elses. I do not have a long arm, and I do not do anything other than straight stitches on my antique sewing machine. You quilt and sew because it is a passion for you. IT IS ART..and however you do your art is correct. I do the flip and sew method for really large quilts, because my hands can barely hold or manage anything large. I don't have the strength or feel in my fingers. I also try hand quilting, and my quilt stitches look almost like running stitches and I LOVE THEM and call them Folk Art stitches. You have to do it because you LOVE IT!
