Nothing about this transaction added up to "trim the quilt top to fit the sheet". Didn't she wonder why you brought two sheets??

I would discuss this with her and make it clear that she is never to alter your top again and that she should communicate better.

I do square the backing, both ends if needed as I can't mount it to the rollers properly otherwise.

There are ways of floating or partially floating a quilt top so an out of square top isn't so hard to work with. I think most LAers use these methods.

She said the top was too wide for the sheet. Duh - that is why I took to sheets!! Now the quilt isn't wide enough for my bed. I am really upset!
