Thanks Zipit for the episode.
I'll try to describe the relevant parts here.
First part was the master demonstrating how to do hearts. She used freezer paper, cut to shape, placed at the rounded edge (1/4 inch away from edge). Then she applied glue on the edge. She folded/pressed/nudged into shape.
Second part was doing modern Dresden. What the master did was to divide every plate into quadrants, each quadrant has 20/4=5 wedges. She does the pointy edge type using the sew across and fold down method. Then she placed the center wedge in the diagonal of the background fabric. Then another wedge and sewed like we do in foundation piecing, and so on ... until you complete the whole quadrant. What is interesting in this method is that you are free to use that quadrant (90 degree turn) in what every way you like, twisting and turning at will.
I know I am not very clear, I am not too well versed in quilting lingo!

Yes, you have a point there. Thanks for the tip
