Did you prewash the fabrics? Prewashing removes the manufacturer's sizing, which helps stabilize the fabric.

Whenever I am concerned about accurate cuts, I starch the fabric before cutting (and I don't prewash!). Heavy starching makes the fabric more stable and results in more accurate cuts. It also keeps cut edges from stretching from handling.
