I agree with Tartan to try and mist the fabric to see if it will shrink up some. If it does not you can try the thicker batting and do a piano key border. This will help take up the excess fabric distributing it evenly. Good luck.

Since I only quilt with my DSM. If I notice any places that have excess fabric I make the FMQ a bit larger. Try not to get too close to any other stitching.
Never that problem with my borders. I never make mitered corners on my borders. |
How about if you leave the mitered corners alone along with a few inches on either side and just rip out the rest, adjust to fit flat, and sew a seam or put in a single pleat along the long edges?
