This is what my first quilting teacher taught us to do, also.
Even with that , some of the seams on the quilt I'm currently working on were still off a little. I decided just to proceed and hope that by the time I'm finished with FMQ and then wash it, it won't be noticable. If I would have re-done every single thing, I would have never been done and probably thrown it away!
