Normally I don’t give advice, but you asked. I have been burned enough by “friends” that I don’t put up with the kind of treatment she’s giving you. You will have to decide if you want to continue with the put downs and disrespect she’s giving you in return for...what?
Absolutely I would not go in with her in teaching a class. Ever.
Edited to add: One true friend who builds you up instead of tearing you down is worth ten who minimize and denigrate you. I know from having been there.

Actually we have taught several collage classes together. We have different methods which we both share in class. Our students seem to enjoy the options. The only sticky part is when we discuss the Christmas village quilt class and she refers to my method as collage and not applique.

I wouldn’t take it personally, as I don’t feel it was meant that way. Sounds like she is a purist who believes appliqué should involve some sort of sewing. Otherwise it’s just fusing. Maybe you should be teaching separately since you have such differing viewpoints on appliqué.

Are you teaching this class together?
How about - "collaging using fusible applique technique"
or
"using fusible applique techniques to achieve a collage effect" ?
One definition of "collage" - a piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing.

My one friend does needle turn, another uses glue stick method, and another does machine applique. I like them all including the friends. They never say their own way of doing the applique is the best.
