Any teacher worth learning from would instruct the class that this is the way I do things, but if you have another way that is easier for you then please do it your way. Then ask you to show how you do it. May end up being a good lesson for her too. There is always more than one way to do something. You choose whats best for you. I have taught a few to quilt & I always tell them this is the way I do it, but others have different ways to do it.
