I wonder if a straight seam at this point would help any.
I think you might be stretching it a little bit as you sew. Even if it is a minute measurement to begin with, it will multiply over a longer seam. Just try to let the machine take up the material instead of pulling it into place. I really like the speedy methods that Jenny Doan has to make quilts. However, one has to be careful with the bias edges that are often associated with her methods as well. On the other hand, they can be very foregiving as well and allow you to fudge a bit if it is not quite right. Good luck with findin a solution.
