I agree to a point with the teacher...you want help to hone your skills, and it's why the teacher is insisting you do the steps the, "proper way" ...but if something is looking good...she should express that too. Maybe the teacher can learn a better way now and again. I like constructive critism, if the teacher says "do it this way", without explaination, then she/he needs to say it as, "If you want a better result, try it the way I'm showing you, the result will look more professional that way." It's all in the way you express it.

I'm not a newbie to quilting and appreciate constructive advise. What do you think?
