Please take another look. I really think you can save yourself a lot of trouble if you re-sew just a few seams for those diamonds that are much too large. You can pick them out just by eyeballing. You could also use a ruler to quickly check their width, but some look much to large in the pic.

One of the things she does not cover is how much of a difference can you have before you cannot use the blocking/starching method to "shrink" a piece.
I have tried very hard to get the shrinking results she demonstrated, but it's not going well. many puckers (although they ARE starched to hell and back.)
