I bought 2 from eBay. One was that little too big with the same problem as yours which was 90x90 and the other one was HT-80 which is 80x80 and it's perfect:

I keep the too big one just to hold the SMC still while using the iron to clean the pads. That way I can put the chip directly onto the proper clamp and tape the stencil without having to clean flux off the clamp first.

I also bought a prison wallet load of SMC stencils as once you get a slight curve you can't even see, the fucking solder balls leak underneath to other pads. The stencils are like £3 each so I have no problems at all using them 1 - 2 times and throwing them away. Comes out perfect for me that way.
