It's never too late for us "old girls" to learn a few new tricks. Just be polite and have a friendly tone.
You really do need to mention it to her especially since her other piecing is wonderful. Maybe you can say how you just saw this on youtube or a friend had pointed it out on one of yours and you want to give it a try. I would have her come over and see the fullness on your frame - you just don't see that when you are ironing.
