Usually seams don't have to meet exactly like some designs do. She is having fun with what she does and is trying to spread that enthusiasm. I would not recommend her methods for the beginning quilter since she does "cut corners' on techniques. A more experienced quilter knows when to do that and when to do better. (Have you noticed she doesn't have a video on how to remove stitches? Most of her designs are pretty forgiving.)
Hallelujah!! Thank you SO much for saying that 'out loud'! Her methods and style are okay if 'good enough' is your goal, but if your aim is any higher than that (and, honestly, there is a whole world of enjoyment beyond 'good enough'), you'll need to develop more accurate techniques either on your own or from other sources.
