I would love to see this method, but it says: the video is not available. Do you have to be member of HGTV?

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!
