Athena is the better weaver, but only because she is a god. If Athena had been mortal, (human), Arachne would have probably won the weave-off that the two had.

I'm studying Athena and I think this is Good: Arachne was a mortal who was an amazing weaver. She once told an old woman that she thought she was a better weaver than the goddess of weaving, Athena, herself. When Athena heard about what Arachne said, she became extremely angry. Athena came to Arachne in the form of an old woman, and warned her not to compare herself to the great goddess Athena. Arachne continued to believe she was the better weaver. Athena then challenged Arachne to a weaving contest, and of course she accepted. Athena weaved a tapestry showing Mount Olympus. Arachne's tapestry consisted of the twelve major gods. Arachne's tapestry was chosen as the best. Athena, in her rage, destroyed Arachne's tapestry, and turned Arachne into the world's first spider, and the treads of the tapestry into spider silk.
People who hurt Athena's pride were often met with swift and severe consequences, as she was known for being a powerful and vengeful goddess. One famous example is the story of Arachne, a mortal weaver who challenged Athena to a contest and ended up being transformed into a spider as punishment for her arrogance.
Athena fears gods not being worshiped properly because she knows if they are not they will not remain in power. This is one of the reasons Athena was so angered when Arachne's cloth that she had created in the contest depicted mistakes of the Gods and other rude illustrations.
