Wavy borders are a ongoing problem with quilting. This is the way I do mine. I measure thru the middle and both sides, than average those measurements. I repeat this process for the top and bottom. I also sew the borders on with the border strip on the top. The bottom layer of fabric always gets gathered in a bit no matter how well you pin. Another clue is to, when possible, cut your borders from the length of your fabric, there is less stretch than the width. Hope this helps someone.
