OK... is the too short/long happening mostly with longer pieces (6" or more)? If so, try a walking foot...You may be getting feed dog pull issues. Also try measuring the two sections before sewing, if they measure the same & one still seems longer...it's the pull of the machine. Try pinning the pieces at the end that will stitch last...lining up the start...and easing so that any possible fullness is distributed as you stitch.

I think I will go to the quilt shop and see if I can get some help.
