I would check the measurement at the center and 6 to 8 inches in from both sides If those are close and the edges are smaller, I would go back and clip a few of the stitches in your stay stitching to ease it out a bit. When I stay stitch, I always loosen the tension just a tad as on my machine it tends to pull the fabric a bit tighter than I like.
