I read the original post as perhaps meandering over all the applique or a pantograph design that went over the applique.
Quilting over the applique to add decorative touches, accents etc is to me ok and part of the design.
kflan who posted the question said that her quilter does not do custom quilting so I took that to mean an overall meander, or pantograph design and not for decorative purposes or to avoid going over the applique.

I do a lot of hand applique, but I would not be comfortable about hand quilting over it. I might embroider a section but not take the stitches all the way through to the back. I have seen a lot of applique with quilting on it, but this is usually to decorate or enhance the design, as is shown in one of the examples on this board, which I think looks very attractive.

There are so many LAers out there. For this quilt why don't you find someone who will custom quilt it for you, rather than doing an all over meander or panto. Just seems such a shame for that kind of quilting to be done on what sounds like a very intricate top that you have worked very hard on. I think it would be downright shame to do an all over on something like you have described.
