I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I can not figure it out.

I bought the Z44 in hopes to use it in two distinct ways: #1 to hand quilt on it as it was designed.
#2 to use it to baste a quilt on, take it off the frame, and machine-quilt it on my sewing machine.

I have tried the latter first with some trial fabric and after three attempts, still have the same problem.
The fabric I considered the back was fine without any bunching of fabric; it looked perfectly basted.
The top, however, looks like it was not stretched correctly and there are big lumps of loose top fabric.
While I was rolling the quilt on the Z44, there was no indication that this was a problem.

I have not used this to hand-quilt yet and I wonder if the bunching/loose fabric will happen when it's hand quilted?

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I emailed a version of this message to Grace Frame this morning to see if they can help.
