Is the extra fullness in the miter only or the entire border is wavy? If it's just the miter, the fullness should mean too much fabric there, so up sewing, re mitering should correct...if it's the whole border with scattered waves....I would take out, measure, pin and resew, but that's me....otherwise it would always haunt me.......

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?
