For example, "Are you sure these two sides need to be sewn together? Lay them down and open them. We'll see if they are indeed placed correctly." They weren't, but I knew that. "Measure twice, even three times before you cut."
Ah the inside-out problem. I suffered from that with about half of what I pieced when I started. It was awful. Once I sewed two rows together wrong, then ripped it all out, then did it AGAIN. I sympathize with your friend. Please be patient with her until she gets how to look at each pair of pieces and THINK
