For example, there are several things you do the "correct" way due to bias issues.
Otherwise, it is a preference and she is being the quilt police.
Yep and the rule for measuring for your borders by measuring the center of the quilt and half way between the center and the side of the quilt and making your border the average of the measurements. It really stinks to have your quilt measure 4 inches longer on one side because you just put the material on there and sewed until you come to the end of the quilt, then cut the border off! I actually gave a quilt back to a customer because one side measured 110" and the other side was 114"! Doesn't work on the longarm very well!
