No. I finally found some videos online that show Jinny's standard technique for hand piecing (excerpts from Simply Quilts), and that is the technique I like for piecing hexagons. Here is a link:

She probably demonstrates it in her out-of-print CD-ROM too. I remember in the video how ***fast*** she is moving the fabric instead of the needle when she hand pieces. In the Simply Quilts video she really slows it down so people can see how it is done.
She may teach the English paper piecing method simply because it's so popular, and she is a solely hand piecer/hand quilter. I can't believe anyone who has done it both ways would prefer the paper piecing method. Those who do must be much more adept than I am!
