As a long armer, I was taught to NEVER touch/alter a quilter's top I received to be quilted. If it's not square, that's for my customer to fix after the quilting is done. I've received tops with extra blocks to one side of the top row(?go figure). I just tack them down and work around them.
I do square the backing, both ends if needed as I can't mount it to the rollers properly otherwise.
