^^^hindsight 20/20..next time you cut a pattern, cut about an 1/8" away from the line and sand/file up to it. That way, if you do happen to "not follow" the line, you still have room to fix it....
^^before you sand them, I suggest attaching double stick tape to the backside of one, and stick the other to it. Set it on the table/bench when you line up the other to it. Then use a file to get them to size. That way they both will be the same. Make sure though, when it's in the vice you are parallel with them both....
