I totally agree, different methods and criteria should be judged separately but I don't considred it cheating unless someone tries to pass something off as hand quilted if it's not.

I agree for judging that the two methods should be separate categories...hand quilting is beautiful and time consuming while machine quilting is beautiful but very quick...both have their own beauties...it depends on what look you are aiming for.

That is how I quilt my quilt - computerized long arm - and I love doing it. But it certainly isn't in the same category as hand quilting and should be judged differently. I'd never have gotten all my quilts done if it hadn't been for the computerized machine.

As a judge, yes I think there are/should be different catagories of each type of quilting. Do remember that computerized quilting requires setting up the design, keeping the quilt square, laying the design appropriately, etc. So there is much more than just setting the longarm to stitch a computerized design.
